Essential Oil Spotlight on: BALSAM FIR
Ask me how to get this amazing oil free!
Balsam Fir is a refreshing, clean and light smelling essential oil that makes you think of Winter holiday festivities and sitting in front of a cozy fire looking at your beautifully lit tree. A bit more inviting than its fir cousins, the unique chemistry of Balsam Fir makes it wonderful for soothing both physically and emotionally.
It is incredibly beneficial to the skin and supportive of the respiratory tract as well as the endocrine system, particularly the thyroid. It also supports bones, joints and muscles, has antioxidant properties, and aids in concentration and combating negative emotions for an uplifting and stabilizing feeling.
Historically, Native Americans used balsam fir for many ritual and wellness purposes. It transforms any environment into a clean, welcoming sanctuary.
