Balsam Fir essential oil, like Black Spruce or Scots Pine, increases energy metabolism and stimulates the organism. It is particularly useful in stopping the evolution of a cold, to tone the adrenals (hot flashes), and to relieve rheumatism and joint pain. In diffusion, it is a good antiseptic for the air with a comforting balsamic scent. It helps to relieve stress and depression.
