doTERRA Douglas Fir
Sweet & Refreshing
Douglas fir
Botanical name: Pseudotsuga menziesii
Country of origin: New Zealand
Application: external, aromatic
This tall, evergreen conifer is a popular Christmas tree and has a sweet, refreshing lemon scent. dōTERRA Douglas fir oil is sustainably sourced from young trees in New Zealand, which are threatening the local ecosystem with their rapid spread.
The unique chemical composition of Douglas fir, rich in beta-pinene, promotes clear airways. Douglas fir also cleanses and clarifies the skin and uplifts the mood. When used with citrus oils, it creates a fresh, mood-enhancing atmosphere.
It's important to note that Douglas fir trees (Pseudotsuga menziesii) are not native to New Zealand. In fact, they are native to North America and are commonly found in the western regions of the United States and Canada. The name "Douglas fir" can be misleading, as these trees are not true spruces (Fir) but belong to their own genus. However, they were named after the Scottish botanist David Douglas when he discovered them in North America.
In New Zealand, there is another type of tree often referred to as the "New Zealand silver fir" or "New Zealand Douglas fir" (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii). This is a subspecies of Douglas fir native to New Zealand and cultivated in some parts of the country.
What does Douglas Fir smell like?

The synergy between essential oils and energy work
Essential oils are known not only for their pleasant fragrances but also for their ability to work on a subtle level . They possess a high energetic frequency that can influence the body's energy system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and harmonize the vibrations, which is crucial in many energy-based practices.
When working with energy centers , such as the chakras, essential oils act as amplifiers by stimulating specific vibrations and supporting the flow of energy. They can help open energy pathways and balance vibrations at a higher level, promoting deeper harmony between body and mind.
The use of essential oils in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising energy levels and strengthening the connection to the higher self . The vibrations of essential oils support the natural flow of energy and help achieve a deeper spiritual opening. Through their specific influence on the energetic body, they promote the release of negative or stagnant energies that could block the natural flow.
Essential oils also help promote mental clarity and stabilize emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They facilitate the achievement of focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the subtle energy levels of the body.
How do you use essential oils in energy work?
To use essential oils in energy work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation , where you add a few drops of the oil to a diffuser or simply breathe in directly from the bottle. This helps to align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balancing.
You can also use essential oils topically by diluting them with a carrier oil and applying them to specific areas of the body, such as the wrists, neck, chest, or along the energy centers (chakras), to enhance their energetic effect. This is particularly helpful during chakra work or Reiki sessions, as it supports the flow of energy by harmonizing the oil's vibrations with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen your energy work. And don't forget: your intention plays a vital role in your energy work with essential oils.
