Arborvitae Essential Oil

Known as the “tree of life,” Arborvitae is majestic in size and abundant in therapeutic benefits. Arborvitae essential oil has a high content of tropolones, a group of chemical compounds that protect against environmental and seasonal threats, and has powerful air purifying properties. Hinokitiol, one of the tropolones in Arborvitae, protects from harmful elements. This compound also contributes to Arborvitae’s natural insect repellent properties. Thujic acid, another tropolone found in Arborvitae, has been studied for its ability to protect against common threats in the environment. Native to Canada, all parts of the Arborvitae tree were used extensively by Native Americans for health benefits and for building vessels, totem poles, baskets, and clothing. Because of its natural preserving properties, Arborvitae prevents wood from rotting, which makes it popular in woodcraft and for preserving natural wood surfaces.

Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, and flowers of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant, with many positive benefits. Yet the use of essential oils goes well beyond their fragrant appeal. Used throughout history, essential oils can be used as natural alternatives in holistic self-care practices. Their unique chemistry means they can be used aromatically, applied topically to the skin, and as a delicious addition to your cooking.
