Cedarleaf - 10ml

Cedarleaf, also known as Thuja or Arborvitae Oil, is steam-distilled from the leaves and twigs of the Thuja occidentalis tree, native to North America. With a strong, sharp, and fresh camphoraceous scent, this oil is both invigorating and purifying, long revered by Native American cultures for its protective and medicinal properties.

Highly antimicrobial, Cedarleaf is valued for its ability to cleanse and purify both spaces and the body. It is often used in natural cleaning products, insect repellents, and respiratory blends thanks to its decongestant, antiviral, and expectorant qualities. In topical applications (always well diluted), it may help with fungal conditions, minor skin irritations, and joint pain due to its anti-inflammatory effects.

Emotionally, Cedarleaf is clarifying and energizing. It supports mental focus and dispels fatigue, making it useful during times of stress or low energy. Due to its high thujone content, this oil must be used with caution and should not be used during pregnancy or on children.

Its bold, medicinal aroma blends well with other coniferous and camphoraceous oils, adding brightness and power to therapeutic formulations.
