Douglas Fir Essential Oil
Soothes Muscles After Exercise and the Mind!

Douglas Fir Essential Oil reminds me of Christmas right away. We always had a huge Fir Tree that we had to wrestle with to get in through the door to put in the living room.

I always loved the smell and still do. It is energizing to the mind, yet relaxing to the body which definitely reminds me of the holidays. This is one of the oils I really like to diffuse during the holidays.

Douglas Fir Essential Oil is soothing to muscles (or joints) that have been overworked or are tired after exercise.

As I do receive new information and testimonials for Douglas Fir Oil, they will be added to this page. So check back frequently or subscribe to the Oil Blog so you don’t miss a thing!

Douglas Fir Essential Oil

What is the Genus Species? Pseudotsuga menziesii

Why is this information important? It is always important to know the genus species and what part of the plant the oil is distilled from.

Remember, many companies may use a substitute species or a combination of species that may not offer the therapeutic benefit you are looking for. Even though they may share some similar properties they are not at all the same.

Where is the name derived from? David Douglas was a Scottish botanist first introduced Douglas Fir into cultivation in 1827 at Scone Palace (in Scotland). The common name was given to this tree in honor of him.

Why is this information so important? Its not, it's just a fun fact!

What Part of the Plant is Used? Leaves and branches

What is the ORAC Value? 69,000 µTE/100g

Why know about this number? ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It tells you the antioxidant capacity of a food item. Antioxidants have shown to reduce the risk of age related conditions and cancer! This was developed by the USDA researchers. For instance: Spinach = 1,400; Clove = 1,078,700. Wow! The number for clove is NOT a typo!
