Fir Needle Essential Oil
Crisp, Woodsy Aroma for Body & Mind
Fir Needle essential oil is steam distilled from the twigs and needles of fir trees in the genus Abies. We use two varieties—Siberian Fir (Abies sibirica) and Canadian Fir (Abies balsamea). Although fir belongs to the same botanical family as pine, spruce, cedarwood, cypress, and juniper (Pinaceae), its aroma and therapeutic profile are uniquely its own.
Traditionally used as a natural remedy for colds, coughs, infections, and muscular discomfort, fir needle oil is rich in antibacterial compounds and is often added to products designed to help purify the air or support the body during seasonal challenges. These antibacterial properties, along with its refreshing evergreen qualities, make it a popular ingredient in healing salves.
Evergreen essential oils—including fir—have been used for generations in saunas, steam baths, massage oils, and invigorating bath blends. A skin-safe dilution of fir needle oil helps soothe tired, achy muscles and may help loosen congestion associated with colds, the flu, or allergies.
In hair care, fir needle has a long history as well. Ancient Egyptians created hair-growth formulations using fir oils, massaging them into the scalp to energize the roots and promote a healthy scalp environment.
Aromatherapy Properties: Fir needle carries a fresh, crisp, balsamic aroma reminiscent of walking through a pine forest after rainfall. Often used in natural perfumery for its clean, woodsy character, it is simultaneously invigorating and grounding. Diffused, fir needle oil helps ease stress, reduce fatigue, restore mental clarity, and re-energize both mind and body.
