Relieve cramps, spasms, or rheumatic pain and swelling with our pure balsam fir essential oil. Harvested organically in the forests of Canada, the fresh, uplifting aroma will transport you back to heartwarming memories of Christmastimes past!
You can indulge in the oil thought to be “the balm of Gilead” referred to in the Bible—balsam fir essential oil. Perhaps the nickname refers to the oil’s ability to calm the nervous system and with it any spasms or cramping. Its anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic properties relax your airways, your joints and muscles, and your mind, and its uplifting scent is perfect for purifying your home. Balsam fir was often associated with royalty—it was one of three oils found in the grave of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun—allow it to make you feel like royalty again when you need a lift.
