The Balsam scent is like taking a walk in the forest. Balsam essential oil has a pleasant woodsy scent and is known to protect energy. It also eases the nervous system so muscles can relax and the breath can deepen. 

 

A safe harbor for small birds like chickadees, balsam, along with spruce, pine, larch, birch, aspen, and other firs, make up boreal forests which is considered the world’s largest land biome.
