    Indications

    Essential oils are a potent concentrate of active ingredients, which is why just a few drops are enough to exploit their powerful potential. Their use must therefore be done conscientiously and in accordance with the indications.

    Usage

    The balsam fir tree has long been cherished by the Cree people for its sacred balance and versatility. Its wood was used in traditional structures, while its needles, bark, and resin were highly valued for their medicinal properties. Balsam fir has been used as a remedy for respiratory issues, muscle aches, and inflammatory conditions. The tree’s resin was often applied to cuts and wounds as a natural antiseptic, while its oils were used to ease tension and stress. In modern practices, a few drops of balsam fir essential oil can be added to an air diffuser to bring the calming and grounding scent of the forest into homes. Boiled balsam fir water or teas are still revered for their cleansing and soothing benefits, connecting us to the wisdom of nature and traditional Cree knowledge.
