- Silver Fir essential oil is safe for kids ages 2+ – in fact, it’s found in some of our OK For Kids essential oil blends like Sniffles & Sneezes and Breathe In, Breathe Out. Clean and earthy, Silver Fir assists with respiratory support, decongesting and soothing tired muscles. After your child’s sports practice, create a soothing muscle mixture by combining 6 drops Silver Fir and 1 ounce of carrier oil. If your child is experiencing congestion and difficulty breathing, add 6 drops of Silver Fir to the shower floor. Have them sit in the bathroom to inhale the therapeutic steam.
- Silver Fir (Abies alba) is also commonly known as White Fir. They are the same oil. Our Silver Fir essential oil was previously named White Fir. Though we never changed sources for this essential oil, we decided to rename it Silver Fir as we felt this name was more well-known than White Fir and would help our customers find it better. Again, this oil has not changed sources – the only thing that’s changed is the name.
- Camphorous Silver Fir essential oil is one of the most complex substances found in nature. As such, it makes a great addition to natural DIYs. One of our favorite DIYs is an anti-inflammatory massage oil that combines 6 drops Silver Fir, 6 drops Plai and 6 drops Cajeput in 1 ounce Avocado carrier oil. A great cold-stopper DIY blends 6 drops Silver Fir, 6 drops Ravintsara and 6 drops Yuzu. Add 10 drops per 100 ml of water in an essential oil diffuser when you feel a cold coming on.
