Balsam Fir

Abies balsamea is used in smoke cleansing rituals for its fresh, resinous aroma. The absolute obtained from the needles smells of clean forests and spoonful’s of jam. It’s a medium-sized conifer native to Minnesota, and the spring tips are dried and made into tea for their high vitamin C content.

The needles are eaten by by Io Moth caterpillars, moose and deer, and the seeds feed squirrels, chickadees and grouse.
They also provide shelter for moose, small mammals and birds.
Balsam fir’s healing aroma creates an atmosphere of wellness, mental fortitude, and freedom from negative influences.
