dōTERRA Douglas Fir | Douglas Fir Essential Oil
Douglas fir is a coniferous tree native to North America. This tall, evergreen fir has a sweet and refreshing aroma with a light lemony note! It is commonly used for skin cleansing and promoting a positive mood. The essential oil from Douglas fir is sustainably sourced from young trees in New Zealand, where their overpopulation threatens the country's ecosystem. By harvesting young Douglas firs and using them to produce essential oil, doTERRA helps reduce the environmental impact of the excessive tree population.
