How to Use Arborvitae Essential Oil
Arborvitae is an evergreen coniferous tree native to Canada that has many unique benefits. The essential oil produced from Arborvitae trees is ideal for using aromatically and topically for cleansing and purifying. Arborvitae oil also makes a great companion for outdoor activity as it acts as a natural insect repellent.
With so many beneficial qualities and uses, there is no question as to why Arborvitae has earned the nickname “tree of life.”
And before you grab any bottle of Arborvitae oil from the grocery store, be careful of the sourcing. dōTERRA’s sourcing arrangements for this oil are done in an innovative, environmentally-responsible way through distillation of residual wood materials to ensure no trees are unnecessarily harvested for production.
