The Siberian fir tree is a popular wood for construction because of its combination of strength, versatility, and beauty. It is also a popular choice for Christmas trees. Native Americans used Siberian fir as a building material and in traditional health practices. Derived from the soft needles of the tree, Siberian Fir essential oil is most noted for feelings of soothing comfort. Aromatically, Siberian Fir evokes feelings of stability, energy, and empowerment. It can be stimulating to the senses while helping the body relax.

Like a stroll through a mountain forest, Siberian Fir essential oil promotes relaxation and eases the symptoms of stress. The scent of this oil helps calm the nerves and soothe anxious feelings. Siberian Fir is a good oil to use during times of change or upheaval.

Siberian Fir essential oil has a unique chemical composition that is predominately bornyl acetate, which provides a majority of the calming benefits of this essential oil. Inhaling bornyl acetate may promote relaxation and reduce stimulation during stressful situations.

When diffused, Siberian Fir can help promote feelings of easy breathing, while calming the emotions and providing a grounding effect. Siberian Fir is also used in aromatherapy to help overcome feelings of self-doubt and encourage confidence. Any time you are working through difficult circumstances at home, work, or school, diffuse Siberian Fir to help reduce stress. Inhale deeply to experience the refreshing aroma.

In addition to its emotional benefits, Siberian Fir can be soothing to the body when used in a massage. After strenuous activity, dilute Siberian Fir essential oil with Fractionated Coconut Oil and massage into legs and back for soothing comfort. Applied topically, Siberian Fir essential oil can also help soothe minor skin irritations.
