Fir (Balsam) Essential Oil

Botanical Name: Abies balsamea

100% Pure therapeutic grade essential oil

Fir Balsam oil (Abies balsamea) is native to eastern and central Canada and the United States. The Balsam Fir tree has a narrow cone shaped crown with leaves that are needle-like and flat. The oil is obtained from the leaves and steam distilled creating a watery, clear liquid with a sweet, fresh, woody, and evergreen scent similar to a fresh cut Christmas tree. It can add an uplifting fragrance to the air and can be effective at killing airborne germs. Fir can ease muscle pain and stiffness, and support arthritis, rheumatism and other body pains.

It blends well with Pine, Cypress, Frankincense, Juniper, Juniper- berry, Lavender, Rosemary, Cedar, Lemon, Basil, and other oils. Balsam Fir has no known safety factors, it is generally non-toxic,and non-irritating, but can cause sensitization in some people. Conduct a patch test using a carrier oil prior to use.

Essential oils can be used for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications.

Earth’s Own Essentials acquires essential oils from multiple suppliers and uses only 100% Pure Therapeutic and/or Organic essential oils in our blends and neat oils.
