Like so many popular essential oils, fir needle essential is extracted through a process of steam distillation from fir needles, primarily from the species Abies Balsamea. The needles are the most important part of this plant, as that is where the active ingredients and powerful chemical compounds are located. The combination of tricyclene, a-pinene, borneol, limonene, acetate, and myrcene all combine for these impressive health effects.

Wild Fir essential oil is known in aromatherapy as a strengthening essential oil, particularly suitable for use during the cold season. It is ideal for indoor steaming, freshening and purifying the air.

Balsam Fir (Abies Balsamea) essential oil has a very sweet, rich, deep, balsamic, evergreen aroma and a very light, clean terpenic top note like that released from freshly crushed fir needles.  Bright and elevating smell.
