Description
Fir Needle Essential Oil
Fir Needle Essential Oil is made from the resin and needles obtained from Canadian Fir trees, which is one of the most common varieties of fir used for Christmas trees in the U.S. and Canada.
Canadian Firs are a member of the Pinaceae family, consisting of c. 220 species of trees and a small number of shrubs, which are native to northern temperate regions. Other important trees in this family include cedars, firs, hemlocks, larches, pines and spruces.
This means that Fir Needle Essential Oil has a lot in common with Black Spruce Essential Oil and Organic Pine Essential Oil. There are several other aromatherapy oils which are similar. This is because there are a good number of evergreen trees which are used for making essential oils.

I was looking for a good fix of ‘Phytoncide’ which can be enjoyed when walking around in the forest but I also wanted to able to have it in my oil defuser at home. This came a part of a recommendation from Rachel including a list of others I picked from. I really love it, its very fragrant and certainly fills my bedroom with the beautiful aroma of the forest.

There is something about the smell of this oil that makes me feel incredibly comforted, its just wonderful. I add it to my baths (in a carrier oil) and its helping with aches and pains and it also seems to clear any stuffiness/ sinus congestion.
