Douglas Fir NZ Essential Oil
Douglas Fir essential oil has a lovely citrus, pine, woodsy and sweet aroma. Douglas Fir is neither a pine nor a typical fir tree as it inhabits its own genus which gives it a somewhat sweeter and more complex aroma when compared to other conifer needle oils. It is known for its grounding and uplifting properties, making it a popular choice for promoting feelings of balance and well-being. Also useful to help ward off colds. It can be used in a diffuser to freshen the air and added to a nut/seed carrier oil for a relaxing massage.
Enjoy this unique forest aroma essence from New Zealand’s Southern Alps in the Otago region. The company that manages the Douglas Fir plantation is a fifth generation, family-owned forest products company. They manage their 38,000-hectare plantation with sustainability in mind and have not used pesticides or synthetic fertilisers for over 25 years. They have their own modern distillery on site. Their essential oils are quality controlled with GC analysis testing done on every batch to ensure the highest quality of oil is produced.
