Natural Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) essential oil

Douglas Fir essential oil is the lightest of the conifer oils—it offers clarity, freshness, and a stable energy without the heaviness of resin. It's often chosen when someone desires a connection to the forest, but in its gentle form, it creates a feeling of air, brightness, and openness without being overwhelming.

Douglas Fir Essential Oil (Pseudotsuga menziesii)

Douglas Fir Oil from Canada – Wild Harvest, Light and Fresh

Douglas fir essential oil has a fresh, coniferous, and delicately woody aroma with a subtle citrus note. Its light, woodsy scent promotes a sense of clarity and stable energy, especially during times of stress or change. It is excellent for diffusion, helping to create a feeling of freshness, space, and connection with nature, especially during the colder months.

Douglas fir is sometimes referred to commercially as "Douglas pine", but botanically it is neither a pine ( Pinus ) nor a fir ( Abies ) . It belongs to a separate genus, Pseudotsuga , and is closely related to the evergreen hemlock. In Polish, it is known as Douglas fir or Douglas fir .

The oil is extracted by steam distillation from the needles and young twigs of trees growing wild in the coniferous forests of the United States. The raw material is wild-harvested and harvested with respect for the natural environment.
