When asked about Idaho Balsam Fir, Gary Young replied,
"Idaho Balsam Fir is an oil that is very dear to my heart.
I personally oversee the harvest and distillation of the oil
from the balsam trees on the farm in Highland Flats,
Idaho.
It is a very versatile oil for the skin and can be
used much like Lavender. It is soothing for muscles and
joints and is often used in place of Panaway. It is also an
excellent oil to diffuse as it supports the respiratory system.
Clinical studies indicate that Balsam Fir supports the
reduction of cortisol levels by 18-28%. Idaho Balsam Fir
is one of Young Living's greatest discoveries and best kept
secrets.
