Simply Relieve Aches And Pains With Balsam Fir Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil.
Having a good, long workout is a wonderful way to invigorate yourself, improve your mood and make you feel better about yourself. But those aches and pains that come with overextending yourself on the road or at the gym aren't so great.
Most people use ice or a heating pad for sore or tired muscles, but they can also be soothed by massaging in therapeutic-grade essential oil of balsam fir.
Balsam Fir Oil is a therapeutic-grade essential oil that not everyone has heard of, but it is quite beneficial for treating muscles aches and pains, as well as arthritis. It is made from the needles of the Balsam fir tree, which might be the kind of tree you use at Christmas.
As you can imagine, therapeutic-grade essential oil of balsam fir smells like a forest and gives you a hint of Christmas whenever you use it. It is refreshing and uplifting and can be used internally, externally or diffused in the air.
Balsam fir therapeutic-grade essential oil is wonderful in a diffuser or burner to add a clean, fresh, outdoorsy smell to any space. The scent almost makes you feel as if you were outside in a grove of trees, which can be very calming. It is thought to be a stimulating oil and is helpful for improving alertness and eliminating fatigue. It is a very good choice for lifting your mood.
Taken internally, balsam fir oil can help you expel mucous from your body. It is used in some cold and cough remedies and is thought to be able to kill germs. If you want to use therapeutic-grade balsam fir essential oil in this way, dilute a drop in four ounces of rice or soy milk or another liquid.
Perhaps the best use for Balsam Fir Oil, though, is for when you are feeling tired and sore. A few drops of therapeutic-grade essential oil in your favorite carrier oil (olive oil smells great with balsam fir oil, and is wonderful for your skin) makes a perfect massage oil for tired muscles, or you could put a few drops in a warm bath to soak away arthritis or rheumatism.
Balsam Fir Oil can cause skin sensitivity in some people, so if you are sensitive to other oils, use caution when trying balsam fir oil and always dilute it. Ask your doctor about using balsam fir oil if you are pregnant or have any health conditions.
Therapeutic-grade balsam oil is a wonderful oil to have on hand for easing those little pains that come from working out too hard or just from getting older.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Always wash and rinse your hands throughly, before and after the use of therapeutic-grade essential oils, and avoid contact with your eyes. Keep therapeutic-grade essential oils out of the reach of children.
