History
In Canada, arborvitae trees were a favorite among Native Americans, harvested for health, building and clothing.
Oil Description
Arborvitae means “tree of life.” doTERRA’s Arborvitae essential oil comes from the native Canadian Arborvitae tree. These trees are giant and have a multitude of uses. doTERRA’s sourcing of Arborvitae includes one of the most sustainable oil harvesting operations on the planet. The star components in Arborvitae are the tropolones, like hinokitiol and thujic acid. Hinolitiol compounds protect against environmental and seasonal threats and are powerful at cleansing and purifying. Hinolitiol compounds are a big reason Arborvitae has repellent properties. Thujic acid is known for the ability to protect against common threats in the environment. These compounds work well within the wood and act as a natural preservative and keep the wood from rotting. Very powerful smell. The smell lasts a long time on the skin.
Cautions
Use with a carrier for sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician if you are pregnant, nursing or under a doctor’s care. Do not put oils directly in your eyes (oils can drip into eyes – if this happens, flush with fractionated coconut oil, not water). Do not drip oils into the ear canal. Avoid sensitive areas.
