Fir Needle Essential Oil

Fir Needle Siberian essential oil, also known as Abies sibirica, is a coniferous evergreen. It is known for its balsamic and woody notes and is a relatively inexpensive ingredient. It is produced from the Pinus type of tree that grows in vast areas of Russia, where it is processed and distilled. Other large producers of fir needle essential oil include France, Germany and Bulgaria, most likely due to their extensive forested areas.

All the good stuff comes from within the needles. The essential oil is produced through steam distillation. Once the oil is extracted, it can be used in several situations due to its perceived health benefits. Some of these benefits include use as an antiseptic, pain relief and detoxifying the body.
