Pet Safety: Essential oils are generally safe to diffuse around adult cats and dogs intermittently. Ensure the room you’re diffusing in is well-ventilated and that your pet can leave if desired. Discontinue use if you notice any adverse reaction. Avoid topical use and diffusing around young pets, small animals or pets with health problems.
- Fir essential oil is made via steam distillation. In steam distillation, plant material is placed in a still, water is added, then heat is applied to the unit. As water heats, plants release their essential oil, the oil rises with steam droplets that are sucked into a pipe and the oil and water are then separated. While it may not be possible to make Fir essential oil at home, you can make aromatic hydrosol water that contains many of the same therapeutic benefits as essential oil.

- There are several ways to effectively use Fir essential oil and obtain its benefits, including 1.) Add 10 drops to your essential oil diffuser per 100 ml of water. 2.) Dilute 12 drops per 1 ounce of carrier oil and use as a skin nourishing massage oil. 3.) Add 6 drops to 1 ounce of carrier oil and 1 cup of Epsom salt for an uplifting bath.

- Animals such as dogs metabolize essential oils very differently than humans. And with a sense of smell 10,000 to 100,000 times more acute than humans, animals are more affected by essential oil diffusion than one might think. With that said, due to Fir essential oil’s many precautions toward dogs, we don’t recommend using this oil around your dog. If you’ve already used Fir essential oil around your dog and notice behavioral differences, such as whining, scratching or acting loopy, move your dog to fresh air and contact your veterinarian. If you wish to use Fir essential oil without affecting your dog, inhale it using an Essential Oil Inhaler and Mio Mist Diffuser or use it topically.
- Fir around the world combines well with other wood oils to enhance their healing effects such as Sandalwood and Cedarwood or Eucalyptus globulus to aid breathing when sick with colds, flu or sore throat, Pine oils such as Scots Pine, Spruce oils such as Black Spruce both in anti-inflammatory and pain relief massage oil blends will add an ability to relieve muscle spasm, fatigue and arthritis. Add a little spice by mixing it with black pepper and anise or fennel to aid digestion. Florals such as Clary Sage and Lavender can both help to soften a blend. Add fruit and citrus oils such as Clementine, Sweet Orange and Tangerine to add a clean fresh note.
