Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
The essential oil, White Fir, also referred to as Rocky Mountain white fir, is steam distilled from holiday and weather damaged trees. American indigenous tribes have long used this plant for lung and chest issues. White Fir essential oil has a camphoraceous, deep woods aroma.
We like to combine White Fir with Pinion Pine and Mandarin for a fresh air cleansing diffuser blend.
