Energetic & Emotional Effect:
Fir recalls freedom and Mother Nature's purity and generosity. It is able to root us and elevate our minds on the path of Truth at the same time. It brings an extra inspiration to the persons looking for evolution. Sleeping in the presence of fir (using a few drops on the pillow) induces colorful dreams. For a healing of the throat chakra, we suggest that you combine it with parsley (leaves). Sprayed over the head, fir stimulates the crown chakra. Misted over the head, it is like a rain of pur light. Balsam fir oil is on of unconditional love.
