Oh Christmas tree, of all the trees most lovely ♪♪♪

We often think of the balsam tree only as a support for our Christmas decorations and the nice scent it brings to our house during the holiday season.

But that magnificent tree has a lot more to offer once we start enquiring a bit. It helps clean the air, feeds and shelters animals and is used in construction. Its essential oil has a wide variety of properties for beauty, wellbeing and medicine as it relaxes the body while stimulating the mind.
