Thuja Essential Oil

Thuja (Thuja occidentalis, also known as Cedar Leaf, Family: Cupressaceae) is a steam-distilled essential oil obtained from the leaves of Canadian white cedar. This powerful oil is strictly for external use due to its potency.

Traditional Use
Historically used in Native American and European herbal traditions for cleansing, ritual, and topical applications, Thuja remains valued in aromatherapy for its strong, clarifying qualities.

Benefits
Its penetrating aroma makes it useful for purifying spaces and adding strength to topical blends when properly diluted.

How to Prepare & Use

• Diffuse: Use sparingly (1–2 drops) in blends to freshen and purify the air.

• Topical: Dilute very heavily in a carrier oil for external applications, best under professional guidance.

Storage Tip
Keep tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place.
