LeSanctuary

Alternatively, it can be worn as perfume, cologne, or applied to the solar plexus, brain stem, crown of the head, back of the neck, behind the ears, over the thymus, or on the wrists. I like to carry this one in an inhaler so that I can let it take me to a quiet place whenever I need to.

PART UTILIZED: needles (leaves)

APPLICATION: Fir, siberica should be diluted and applied to areas of concern or to the feet.
AROMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: Fir, siberica is sightly more pungent than the balsamea variety, but still wonderfully resinous and woodsy. The aroma of fir, siberica is pleasing to both men and women. Men like the conifer oils because they lack any hint of feminine flower aromas. All conifer oils, while very nice applied to the body, are absolutely wonderful when diffused.
