Absolute Aromas Fir Siberian abies sibirica

Fir Siberian abies sibirica

The aroma and properties are very similar to Balsam Fir and serve as a perfect substitute. Fir is also, of course, the classic aroma of Christmas! This is a bright and uplifting essential oil, yet, as with most evergreen needle oils, also grounding. Fir is a stimulating essential oil, and can be used to bring alertness to the mind, or diluted and applied topically to the adrenal areas or the body in general; it may help with fatigue. Fir oil is also indicated as an analgesic and can be diluted in a carrier oil for massage in cases of arthritis, muscular aches and pains, and rheumatism. It has been included in some cough and cold remedies and may act as an expectorant. To create a wonderful 'forest' aroma a few drops of Fir essential oil can be blended with 1 or 2 other evergreen oils such as Pine, Spruce, and Cedarwood.  It also blends well with Blue Chamomile, Frankincense, Lavender, Lemon, and Myrtle essential oils.
