Balsam fir may not be one of the most common types of essential oils, but it's pretty effective. Balsam fir is a type of fir oil that is beneficial on a few different levels. According to Dr. Axe, this essential oil is made up of compounds that help to fight fatigue, strengthen bones, decrease pain, soothe muscular discomfort, and lessen body odor.

As far as seasonal allergies go, balsam fir oil can work all kinds of magic. Its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties work together to help prevent infections, strengthen respiratory function, and soothe sinusitis. This is beneficial because the last thing you need is a sinus infection when you're already dealing with seasonal allergies.

So, if you happen to feel a lot of sinus pressure, you've got a killer headache, or you've got nonstop congestion or a cough, breathe in some balsam fir essential oil. It just may be the all-natural remedy you've been looking for (per Dr. Axe).
