Arborvitae

Description

Description

Known as the "tree of life," Arborvitae is majestic in size and abundant in unique benefits. Our Arborvitae essential oil is sourced from the heartwood of the Thuja plicata tree. It is also known as Western Red Cedar and is native to North America (primarily Canada and the Northwestern United States). This unique source of Arborvitae essential oil contains a distinct chemical profile and is uniquely concentrated in methyl thujate. Sourcing arrangements for this oil are done in an innovative and environmentally responsible way through the distillation of residual wood materials to ensure no trees are unnecessarily cut down for production. Native to Canada, all parts of the Arborvitae tree were used extensively by Native Americans for health benefits and to build vessels, totems, baskets, and clothing.
