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.
Primary Benefits
Protects against environmental and seasonal threats
Promotes healthy cell function
Powerful cleansing and purifying agent
Natural insect repellent and wood preservative
Emotional Benefits
Emotionally, Arborvitae has been used for centuries by Natives to promote grounding, calming, and spiritual trust. Like all tree oils, it can help us stand strong and stable. It also helps those of us who feel like everything is or has to be a struggle, or that we must do things ourselves without help (hmm, maybe that's why I didn't care for the aroma!). It can help a person process through control issues, rigidity, trust, fighting with reality, courage, and more.
Complimentary Oils:
Arborvitae blends well with Birch, Cedarwood, Cassia and Eucalyptus essential oils.
Depending on your uses for this oil, substitutes may include: Melaleuca, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, or Oregano.
Popular Uses of Arborvitae Essential Oil
Apply 1–2 drops to areas of concern on the skin.
Add a few drops to a spray bottle with water and spray on surfaces or hands to protect against environmental threats.
Apply to pulse points to promote healthy cell function.
Diffuse to purify the air and to repel insects inside the home.
Inhale 1 drop from the palms, diffuse as desired, or massage over the energy centers of the body for emotional balance
For Respiratory support, massage 1 drop over the throat and chest every few hours.
For control issues, diffuse as desired or massage topically over the solar plexus and heart. (Secretly pump it through the vents for the control freaks in your life.)
Inspiration for Using Arborvitae Essential Oil
Mix 4 drops of Arborvitae essential oil and 2 drops of Lemon essential oil for a natural wood preservative and polish.
DIY Bug Repellent: Combine 20 drops each of Eucalyptus and Lemongrass, and 3 drops of Arborvitae in a 4oz spray bottle and top with witch hazel. Shake, spray, and enjoy! SO much better the other toxic sprays.
For a calming, mood enhancing blend try diffusing 2 drops each Arborvitae, Sandalwood and Wild Orange essential oils.
