These are the five strongest benefits/effects of fir oil:

In studies, balsam fir showed efficacy against the Staph. Bacteria with other fir oils showing efficacy against Listeria.

Conifers like fir contain the powerful anti-inflammatory Bornyl acetate that has shown good results helping to regulate Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.
