Essential Oil Spotlight: Arborvitae

Tree of life


Traditionally, Native Americans have used every part of the arborvitae tree for a variety of purposes. They built homes and canoes from the wood, made baskets from the roots, and crafted clothes, rope, and twine from the bark. They also used leaves in teas and salves for certain health benefits.

The unique components found in Arborvitae essential oil give it its profound therapeutic benefits. High in tropolone content, Arborvitae essential oil contains strong cleansing properties that protect the immune system and support normal cell activity in the body. The essential oil also makes an excellent insect repellant and natural wood preservative. Arborvitae’s warm, woody, earthy aroma calms nerves and balances emotions.
