Balsam Fir is a coniferous tree that can grow over 150 feet high. It possesses a fresh, sweet, sap-like scent, that is reminiscent of the leaves/needles the tree produces. Also, it's Canadian! This particular variation of fir is known to help treat minor wounds and burns, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, muscular aches and pains, arthritis, rheumatism, haemorrhoids, cough, colds and flu. It is also known to act as a urinary antiseptic.
Balsam fir is a known analgesic (assists with pain relieving), expectorant (lung decongestant) and can be used to help relieve sinusitis, bronchitis, coughs, rheumatism, muscular aches and pains, anxiety and tension caused by stress. Emotionally, balsam fir can help reduce anxiety and stress related conditions.
