Arborvitae Essential Oil
History: Also known as Tree of Life, Native Americans put boughs of arborvitae on tepee poles, believing that it would ward off lightning. The foliage of Arborvitae is rich in Vitamin C, and was used by Native Americans and early European explorers as a cure for scurvy.
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, have powerful purifying properties, and promote healthy cell function. Hinokitiol, one of the tropolones in Arborvitae, protects the body from harmful elements while supporting normal cell activity. 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.
