Emotional Healing

Douglas Fir is the oil of generational wisdom; it helps you break free from destructive patterns and live according to your own values and conscience. It is a good oil to use when you need to change negative generational patterns, when you feel burdened by family issues, when you seek wisdom and respect, or when you need help to learn from the past.  

Use Douglas Fir when you seek wisdom from others' experience, even when that experience may be difficult to understand and process. Douglas Fir teaches you to respect and value the lessons of prior generations. 

Inhale from the bottle, diffuse it, or place a drop in your hands and inhale deeply. To use Douglas Fir topically,  apply a few drops to the bottoms of the feet or to the lower spine.
