Douglas Fir essential oil is extracted from the tall and majestic Douglas Fir trees that grow abundantly in the lush forests of Canada. This oil has a unique aroma that is both fresh and invigorating, with a sweet piney scent that is complemented by a hint of lemon.
Botanically, the Douglas Fir belongs to the Pseudotsuga genus, which is different from the true fir trees that belong to the Abies genus. The essential oil extracted from these trees is highly valued for its therapeutic properties and is often used in aromatherapy.
One of the most popular ways to use Douglas Fir oil is to blend it with Plai essential oil to create a massage oil that can help soothe sore muscles and inflammation. Additionally, the oil has strong antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, which makes it an effective natural choice for cold and flu symptoms.
Those who are looking to purify the air in their living space can add a few drops of Douglas Fir oil to a diffuser to release its refreshing, forest-like aroma. This oil is also known for its ability to eliminate stale odors and create a fresh and inviting atmosphere.
Douglas Fir essential oil is a versatile and beneficial oil that has a wide range of uses. From soothing sore muscles to purifying the air, this oil is an excellent addition to any natural health and wellness routine.
