doTERRA: Learning Moment Arborvitae

I love this oil and the story behind it.  I thought I would take a moment and share it with all of you.  

"Known as the “tree of life,” Arborvitae is majestic in size.  Arborvitae essential oil is sourced from the Western Red Cedar and is native to North America.  The sourcing is done in an innovative, environmentally-responsible way through distillation of residual wood materials to ensure no trees are unnecessarily harvested for production. All parts of the Arborvitae tree were used by Native Americans for health benefits and for building vessels, totem poles, baskets, and clothing. Because of its natural preserving properties, Arborvitae prevents wood from rotting, which makes it popular in woodcraft and for preserving natural wood surfaces."

  • Add a few drops to a spray bottle with water and spray on surfaces or hands for a quick DIY cleaner.
  • Apply to wrists and ankles while hiking.
  • Diffuse to purify the air and to repel insects inside the home.
  • Mix 4 drops of Arborvitae essential oil and 2 drops of Lemon essential oil for a natural wood preservative and polish.
  • Use during meditation for a sense of peace and calm.
