Balsam Fir essential oil can be very useful during the cold season. Decongestant and antiseptic, it can help combat sinusitis, flu and dry coughs. LCA Balsam Fir essential oil has many virtues, including
- Respiratory antiseptic: contains mainly monoterpenes, molecules renowned for their atmospheric antiseptic action. Alpha pinene is particularly effective on contact or diffusion against fungi, viruses and bacteria; here, its action is reinforced by the presence of other monoterpenes.
- Anti-inflammatory: bornyl acetate intervenes during the inflammatory reaction, modulating it to limit its negative effects.
- General tonic and stimulant: monoterpenes are molecules that act on all the body's functions to keep it in a state of general good health. Their cortison-like properties play a role in this stimulation.
