Abies balsamea
Benefits
Natural
Sticky balsam fir resin is valued for its woody, resinous and fresh scent, reminiscent of Christmas trees. Balsam fir is also known as the tree of life.
Balsam fir, sometimes known as fir balsam, is a species found in eastern North America, mainly in Quebec and Maine. When the tree is young, its thin grey bark shows resinous blisters, which will continue to develop as the tree grows and its bark turns into fine brown scales. This abundance of gum has given the tree its "balsam" name.
