In time, Siberian Fir will gently but firmly, insistently, awaken an inkling of inspiration, of a new vision, that can bring the individual to experience fresh confidence, positivity and motivation.Matsubara, et. al (2011) cite studies that indicate that Siberian Fir essential oil has antibacterial and antiviral activity, and they comment that the tree is part of traditional Siberian medicine, helping to maintain health during the severe winters. Their 2011 study revealed that inhalation of air containing the essential oil reduced arousal levels after a prolonged visual display terminal (VDT) task. Prolonged VDT work can lead to mental fatigue, sleep disorders and anxiety, therefore it was suggested that Siberian Fir essential oil has the potential to prevent such problems without influencing task performance.
