What is Arborvitae?

Wednesday, March 21, 2018


Arborvitae may not be in the top 10 most used essential oils but I believe that is because people are not aware of how amazing it is. Arborvitae, as the arbor in the name suggests is a part of the cypress family. The oil is sourced from the Thuja Plicata tree in northern United States and Canada. The Thuja Plicata Tree is also known as the tree of life... and for good reason!

Some of the most popular benefits of this essential oil are:

  • Relieving cough
  • Relieving elevated body temperatures
  • Getting rid of unwanted bacteria and/or pathogens.
  • Hair loss
  • Unwanted skin imperfections/blemishes
  • Dry, flaky, or irritated skin.
Ancient civilizations knew of the power of the Thuja Plicata tree and used the oil from the tree of life, also known as arborvitae, for spiritual communication during rituals or other ceremonies.

In the 19th century Thuja was commonly used as an externally applied tincture or ointment for the treatment of warts, ringworm, and thrush (1).

 Arborvitae is known as the oil of divine grace. Arborvitae addresses the need to control the outcome of one's own life allowing the divine to step in and trust that everything will happen exactly as it should. Arborvitae helps you feel peaceful and trust that the divine grace, universe, God, higher power, will allow you to live effortlessly.


I am definitely going to suggest that others learn to love the oil from the tree of life. Have you ever used arborvitae? What has your experience been? I hope this post was insightful and thought provoking! Thank you for reading.

Until next time, be well!
