Nickname: Evergreen Peace

Description: Young Living’s late founder, Gary Young, used to tell groups he spoke to that he couldn’t think of a single use that Idaho Grand (former Balsam) Fir wasn’t a great fit for. High praise from someone who truly understood the properties of this evergreen, and apparently ever useful, essential oil. Its scent is deep and rich. You can almost forget where you are for a moment when inhaling its woodsy and peaceful aroma.

Emotionally, this oil is phenomenal as it helps to bring balance to the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, meaning our Fight-or-Flight response can receive a dose of balance – and perhaps take a break!

This oil is excellent for the adrenals that have been pushed a little far, the immune system stretched a little thin, and the whole person who feels not quite enough for all there is to do and be.

Home: Idaho

Key Constituent: Alpha-Pinene

Historically used for: ability to help respiratory conditions, muscular and rheumatic pains

Application:

• Apply to muscles and joints as needed (can dilute with carrier oil for easier application)
• Apply to neck, jaw, or crown of the head as needed to relieve tension
• Diffuse or inhale as needed to support seasonal immune health
• Apply over the bladder to support urinary tract health
• Diffuse and use as needed to support the sinuses, throat, and lungs
• Apply over the adrenals (just above the kidneys) to support a balanced Fight-or-Flight response and to rejuvenate the glandular system
• Diffuse to support emotional health at large! And also specifically to release feeling inadequate, scattered, and unsupported.

Found in:

Believe, BLM, Animal Scents Ointment, En-R-Gee Egyptian Gold, Gratitude, Sacred Mountain (and bar soap), Transformation

Scent-sational perfume or cologne

If you love the smell of the woods, wear a drop or two for an outdoorsy perfume! Instead of layering jackets, layer Idaho Grand Fir with Patchouli or Cinnamon Bark for a warm, inviting scent.

Pre-fir a sweeter blend?

Just add Lemon, Tangerine, or Ylang Ylang.

Get campy

Go out on a limb and include Idaho Grand Fir as part of your camping essentials!

Mix up equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle and add 10–15 drops of Idaho Grand Fir essential oil. Use it to spray down and freshen up picnic tables and deck chairs!

Spent too much time in the sun?

Add a drop each of Idaho Grand Fir and Lavender to your aloe vera gel for some mountain-scented skin care.

If I were stranded on an island with five oils, this would be one of them, hands down, no question!

Idaho Grand Fir was the second, Frankincense being the first.

I battle a lot of inflammatory responses in my body.

I use it for so many areas of support and wellness and the effect on my body is powerful!

Beta-pinene and camphene are naturally occurring constituents in IDAHO GRAND FIR and guess what those have been used for years to support?!?!!

Emotions!

This is honestly one of my most powerful guns in my arsenal of emotional support oils!

You have to try this for yourself!

Idaho Balsam Fir is both grounding and stimulating to the mind while relaxing to the body. Such a dream and a dream come true!

The aroma is heavenly!
