DESCRIPTION
Fir Balsam Organic Essential Oil is steam distilled from the needles and twigs of the Abies balsamea trees that are organically grown in Canada. Also known as Blistering Pine, Fir Balsam was traditionally used as an on-the-go breath freshener before the invention of chewing gum and was even used medicinally during the American Civil War on the battlefield.
Today, the fresh and invigorating aroma of Organic Fir Balsam Oil is commonly used in air fresheners and household cleansers. Cultivated without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, this versatile organic oil is recommended as an ingredient in eco-conscious personal care, aromatherapy, and home care products.
