Getting fresh air is incredibly rewarding to our health. Breathing in deeply the beauty of nature’s oxygen can have a range of benefits. Like many coniferous oils, Douglas Fir is antiseptic and often used to support respiratory health.
Its aroma is sweet and fresh with citrusy notes, and can be stimulating to the senses. Diffusing this oil may promote a sense of hiking through a forest on a crisp day. Steam distilled, Douglas Fir can up the impact of almost any massage.
