Beyond the holiday magic of Christmas Trees and rolling pine forests, Fir trees are majestic in nature and produce a warming, refreshing essential oil. Native Americans first used Fir Balsam for ritual and medicinal purposes. This brilliant essential oil enlivens, awakens and energizes.
Native to North America and Europe, Fir evergreen trees tower over 80 feet in height and produce needle-like leaves. Through a steam distillation method, the essential oil is extracted from the needles and twigs of the tree, producing an earthy aroma. Inhaling this majestic aroma is sure to conjure memories of the holidays.
