Fir needle essential oil is steam distilled from the needle of the coniferous fir trees found throughout the mountainous terrains of North America and Europe. The fir tree is commonly thought of as a Christmas tree, and the smell often is attributed to be reminiscent of the holiday season. The pale yellow liquid has a clean, woodsy aroma that has a relaxing and grounding effect on the mind. When diluted and applied to the skin, the oil can act as a pain reliever and sooth those suffering from arthritis, muscular pains, inflammation and rheumatism.
