             Silver Fir or White Fir has one of the freshest scents that can be found. This evergreen tree that grows at higher altitudes between 300 to 1700 meters. It has approximately 30% limonene similar to citrus oils but maintains its leading pine scent. It is more subtle, not as sharp or harsh as pine can be. It is fresh and emotionally uplifting and to some it may bring back the memories of the Christmas Holidays.
            Fir is enjoyed for its clean scent and commonly used in diffusers and added to candles, deodorizers, soaps, cleansers, air fresheners, perfumes, potpourris and etc… Fir needles were a common ingredient in baths in Northern Europe for hundreds of years. In use it is very similar to pine. It is also often included in rubs for muscle aches and aching joints. It is a warming oil to increase blood flow to the area where it is applied and speed circulation to that area.
            Fir is thought to ease respiratory issues but is not recommended during an asthma attack because it may increase bronchial spasms.
            Emotionally it is recommended for a lack of energy, mental exhaustion and general weakness, fatigue or stress.
