Fir tree (Abies)

The resin of the common fir was already used for medicinal purposes in ancient times, e.g. as chewing gum to strengthen the gums and protect the teeth. An essential oil with an aromatic smell can be distilled from the needles. It contains, for example, the terpenes pinene and limonene. In addition to essential oil, the tops of young shoots also contain an abundance of vitamins C. Because of this, they were consumed as a preventive treatment for scurvy. Tea made from it strengthens the lungs. White fir preparations were and are used primarily for inhalation in colds, but also for rubbing in rheumatism, neuralgia and to promote blood circulation.
