Siberian Fir (Abies sibirica)
Siberian fir essential oil (Abies sibirica) offers much the same benefits as refreshing autumn rain. When you breathe in its clean, forest scent, there can be an immediate sense of ease and relief in your breathing and tension level. It is an oil that offers practical support: easing congestion and supporting immunity, calming stress, and helping promote restful sleep. In a season when we need all the support we can get, Siberian fir is a great option to keep on hand.
