A great workout can leave you feeling energized and ready for the day. But sore muscles can put a dent in that feeling and keep you from your next workout. Balsam Fir is a great oil to have in your arsenal. It can help calm your joints and soothe your muscles. It’s even great for when you’ve just spent a long day on your feet and you need a little relief. Next time you’re experiencing the pang of those sore muscles, dilute Balsam Fir to 2-5% in your favorite carrier oil and massage onto the areas of concern.

Easy Breathing

Next time allergies or a cold have you feeling all stuffed up and congested, try adding a few drops to your diffuser. You can also dilute Balsam Fir in a carrier oil to make a clearing and cooling chest rub.

Balanced Emotions
