Two very useful and special Young Living Essential Oils are free until April 15, 2009. Both of these essential oils are some of my favorite oils for not only aromatherapy purposes but for my body aches and pains. They are the best. See how to get them for free at the bottom of this post. Right now I want to share with you the ways I use both… 

About Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea)

The fir tree – commonly used as a christmas tree today – has been prized through the ages for its medicinal effects and ability to heal respiratory conditions and muscular and rheumatic pain, sprains, to elevate mood. 

Balsam fir essential oil is renowned for its benefits to the respiratory system, as well as its ability to soothe over-worked muscles and joints. The oil was recently harvested on Young Living’s own Balsam Fir Farm and contains optimal levels of four important constituents: alpha pineane, beta pineane, camphene, and limonene, which gives it many of its soothing characteristics.

Balsam fir lends its qualities to a variety of Young Living products including Young Living’s specially formulated Deep Relief™ Essential Oil Roll-On (which is also part of the free offer through April 15, 2009, learn more below).

The fragrant influence of Balsam fir is grounding, stimulating to the mind, and relaxing to the body. I find it particularly uplifting when my mood is down and I just love the smell.

The best part about my Young Living oils is the amazing care and perfection that goes into producing every single batch. There is nothing that I’ve ever seen that comes close to the quality of YL oils, they are by far the best essential oils – and I would say that even if I wasn’t a distributor. Here’s an article I wrote on the harvest. 

Many Ways I like to Use Therapeutic-grade YL Balsam Fir Oil

• Dilute 1 part Idaho Balsam Fir with 1 part V-6 Massage Oil or vegetable oil.

• Mix 5-7 drops Balsam fir with 1/4 cup Sea Salt, add mixture to hot bath water for a nice warming and uplifting soak.

• Applied topically, 2-4 drops on location or used in Raindrop Technique. 

• Chakras or Vita Flex points (on feet). 

• Directly inhale, place a single drop in palm, rub palms together and cup over nose without touching face (keep away from eyes). 

• Diffuse Balsam fir in one of my 3 Young Living Diffusers.  

• As dietary supplement 1-2 drops in 1 teaspoon Agave or honey. Or, a single drop in a cup of hot water as a wintertime tea.

• As a bathroom air freshener – 6-10 drops in a 2 oz. spray bottled filled with water, spritz into air as needed. 

Using Balsam Fir for Congestion and Colds and Flu

Diluted 50-50 with carrier oil (V-6), then massage 1-2 drops on each of the following areas: forehead, nose, cheeks [KEEP AWAY FROM EYES], lower throat, chest and upper back, 1-3 times daily. 

Vita Flex Foot Point Massage

Massage 1-3 drops Balsam fir on Vita Flex points on the feet, 1-2 times daily. 

About Deep Relief Roll-On

Some of the ways I enjoy using Deep Relief: rolled generously on temples and back of neck and shoulders, on my feet, the aching elbow I was having last week (I also used Balsam fir too – they’re excellent together!)

• On the back of my neck for tension headaches.

• Rolled generously on sore, stiff muscles (before bedtime is very nice, I wake up feeling relaxed and refreshed.)

Even my dog Bandit loves this blend! When his back is feeling stiff, I move his long silky hair away to expose his skin and apply a couple of rolling dabs – he loves it! But I would expect that as Deep Relief contains one of his most favorite essential oils, Palo Santo. Read Bandit’s Palo Santo story and here’s a fact sheet on Deep Relief.
