Description 

Our Douglas Fir Oil is harvested from evergreen fir trees in New Zealand, Douglas Fir has a unique blend of chemical compounds giving a fresh, fragrant woodsy aroma with top notes of citrus. The supplier is committed to responsibly sourced, sustainable, and consistently high-quality essential oil. No pesticides or synthetic fertilisers have been used on the land for 25+ years and are seeking organic certification. 

Their essential oil is produced on-site and are moving towards a closed-loop processby using biomass boilers, ensuring that the same forests producing the essential oil will also power 100% of the steam used for distillation -  “By valuing our forests and the communities that rely on them, we cultivate a healthy world”. 

Nature/Essence – Cleansing / Uplifting 

Douglas Fir can provide cleansing and healing benefits when applied topically to the skin (diluted).

Fir’s generally have an affinity with the respiratory system - ideal as an inhalation or chest rub for sinus or chest congestion and coughs.  Can be useful in a massage oil for muscle and joint aches and pains due to stiffness and lack of mobility
