Silver Fir Oil (Abies Alba)
The Forest Breath & Vitality Giver
What is Abies Alba Leaf Oil? It is the essential oil from the needles and twig tips of the Silver Fir. This majestic conifer, often called the queen of the forest, provides an oil with a wonderfully balsamic, fresh, and resinous scent. It brings the power of the forest directly into your bathroom and is milder than many other pine oils.
🌲 Forest Bathing at Home
The scent of the Silver Fir has a profound psychological effect.
- Grounding: It has a calming effect on stress and nervousness, while simultaneously bestowing new strength and confidence.
- Room Climate: In the room air, it cleanses the atmosphere and neutralizes bad odors.
💪 Physical Relief
In Hago products, we utilize the therapeutic qualities of the oil.
Areas of application:
- Airways: In baths or rubs, it supports deep breathing and acts as an expectorant during colds.
- Muscles & Joints: It promotes circulation and warms, which is very soothing for sore muscles or tension.
- Antiseptic: It helps to reduce the bacterial load on the skin.
⚠ What you should watch out for
Freshness is key: Like all conifer oils, Abies Alba contains terpenes (such as pinene and limonene) which can oxidize in air. Use the oil promptly and store it in a dark place to avoid skin irritation caused by oxidation. It is often softer in scent and better tolerated compared to spruce needle oil.
