OTHER: Native to large parts of central & eastern Canada & the northeastern US, the Balsam Fir is one of the most cold hardy trees, able to survive in temperatures as low as -50F (-45C). Being evergreen & densely branched, they are a popular choice for privacy screens or windbreaks, & their beauty has won them many spots as specimen trees in parks, homes, & commercial sites. The Balsam Fir is of great value to wildlife, providing both shelter & food in the form of their seeds & buds to birds, squirrels, & other small critters. Moose, deer, & black bears browse the plants in winter & use the stands for shelter.
The Balsam Fir is a coniferous tree, & its cones start out a lovely dark purple, maturity to a grayish brown color. They typically measure 2 – 4” in length. The cones are popular decorative items. The wood is used in construction, to make furniture, & for pulp. The needles are used to fill pillows & sachets for their fragrance, & essential oils are extracted from needles to make a wide variety of products. Native American Indians have used the Balsam Fir for a number of medicinal uses going back thousands of years.
Being the most fragrant of all Christmas Tree varieties, The Balsam Fir remains one of the most popular & beloved. Quite simply put, they smell like Christmas in all of its magical glory & delight. The rich aroma is a clean & crisp, & refreshing & invigorating with piney & woodsy tones mixed with sweet & citrusy notes. Balsam Firs have an ideal shape, naturally growing in a desirable pyramidal form, & soft dark green needles. Like the closely related Fraser Fir, Balsam Firs are able to retain their needles for long period after being harvested, typically remaining for 5 – 6 weeks. Their sturdy branches will support oodles of ornaments, & their more elongated form makes a Balsam Fir an excellent choice for a small spaces.

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!

How to Use
How to Use
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with your body.
Specifics on dosages and administration for all products are in our FAQ. Find the FAQ in the menu under the "About" Section.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a matter of finding the right one for you.
