Siberian fir
Abies sibirica · PinaceaeIn one paragraph
Siberian fir is a true fir of the northern forests, and its needle oil is high in bornyl acetate, giving a crisp, clean evergreen aroma with very little resinous heaviness. It is the most straightforwardly fresh of the conifers in the range.
How Nurtur Health uses it
Siberian fir needle essential oil is used in the Evergreen Lip Balm, where a clean top note is wanted over the infused balsam fir base.
Traditional use
Used across northern Europe and Russia in steams and winter preparations, valued for aroma above all.
