Balsam Fir, Abies balsamea is a highly aromatic tree. Balsam Fir Essential Oil is comprised primarily of Alpha Pinene, Beta Pinene and other monoterpenes, totaling roughly around 80%. The abundance of monoterpenes, particularly the Pinene and Limonene, contribute to its therapeutic applications and beautiful aroma. However, these components are also very susceptible to oxidation. Oxidation can make an essential oil more prone to causing skin sensitization, so it's very important to use Balsam Fir minimally in topical applications unless you are certain you are working with a very fresh, non-oxidized essential oil. Aromatically, Balsam Fir Essential Oil offers a fresh, vibrant, coniferous aroma. It blends wonderfully with many other essential oils including other conifers and oils in the citrus, floral, mint and herbaceous families. I love using it to help add "freshness" to a blend. Emotionally, Balsam Fir Essential Oil has the potential to uplift the spirts and help ease feelings of stress and anxiety. I love to include it in blends that I use in my office to help balance and focus my mind onto the project at hand.
