Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
Silver Fir offers strong immune supportive and provides an expectorant, ant-infectious, antibacterial, and antiviral effect. This is a great oil to add to your cold and flu blends, and for overall immune support. The oil has an affinity to the respiratory system.
We use it in blends for allergies and sinus or lung congestion. It has a beautiful vibrant aroma that reminds us of being in a pine forest.
