Balsam Fir Essential Oil

Balsam Fir Essential Oil
Abies balsamea | Needles | Steam Distilled | Origin: Canada

With its clean, coniferous aroma and subtle balsamic sweetness, Balsam Fir Essential Oil captures the stillness of snow dusted forests and the refreshing energy of evergreen trees. Steam distilled from the needles of Abies balsamea in Canada, this oil is a seasonal favourite, particularly valued for its use in wintertime diffusions to purify enclosed spaces and uplift stagnant air.

Traditionally used by Indigenous communities in North America, Balsam Fir has a long history of therapeutic application. Its resin, steam, and branches were used in salves and steams for respiratory congestion, muscle aches, and even childbirth support. Energetically, Balsam Fir is both invigorating and grounding, perfect for balancing overstimulation while offering clarity and resilience during colder months.

A beautiful addition to blends for chest rubs, muscle care, and seasonal support, this evergreen essential oil brings a breath of the wild outdoors into your home.
