Balsam Fir

abies balsamea

$18.95 {10ml}

Balsam Fir carries the unmistakable aroma of an evergreen forest after rain - fresh, resinous, grounding, and deeply clarifying. Steam distilled from the needles, twigs, and cones of Abies balsamea, this North American fir oil has long been valued for its clean woodland character and its ability to create an atmosphere that feels calm, open, and restorative.

Unlike many fir species found throughout Europe, Abies balsamea is native only to North America and is especially known for the fragrant oleoresin, or balsam, that naturally flows from the bark. Historically, this resin was used by Native Americans in traditional wellness applications and later became prized for its unusual clarity and purity in optical manufacturing.^*
