BALSAM FIR Essential Oil

Canadian Balsam Fir was the Christmas Tree of my childhood, and I can't pour this Fir Needle without being taken back to that time.

Balsam Fir, like many of the conifer oils, is useful for chest colds, bronchial problems, etc. It is especially called for to loosen a dry, tight cough.

Fir is a warming oil, and, as such, is useful in rubs for arthritis, rheumatism and other forms of joint pain.

Emotionally it is said to be grounding and calming, effective in anti-anxiety blends.

It is a wonderful ingredient in any room scenting blend, blending well with Basil, Black Pepper, Cajeput, Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Ginger, Lavender, Lemon, Myrtle, Niaouli, Peppermint, Pine, Rosemary, Rosewood, Tea Tree, or Thyme. For a Christmas scent, blend it with citrus, either Orange or Tangerine or Mandarine, and add just a touch of the spice oils, Cinnamon and/or Clove.
