Common Uses: Arborvitae Essential Oil has anti-rheumatic, anti-infectious and anti-allergenic properties.

It is considered to be a natural insect repellent and helps to soothe both psoriasis and poison ivy.

Strength of Aroma: Strong

Blends well with: Cedarwood, Birch Sweet, Cajeput, Cassia, Cinnamon Bark and Eucalyptus.

Aromatic Scent: Arborvitae Essential Oil has a pungent, almost overpowering odor.

History: Also known as Tree of Life, Native Americans put boughs of arborvitae on teepee poles, believing that it wards off lightning. Arborvitae oil has long been home distilled and used as an insect repellent.

Cautions: Avoid during pregnancy. It is important to note that arborvitae oil is rich in thujone, a neurotoxin substance that must be used wisely. Taken in excess, the oil can produce unpleasant results; it was officially listed as an abortifacient (a drug or agent causing abortion) and convulsant in overdose.

This oil truly surprised me. Yes, it could be called pungent, it is bursts out of the bottle. But there is a warm, floral woodiness that underlies the initial powerful scent. I imagine a drop or two could add a beautiful complexity to a perfume composition. A very pleasant surprise.

Fantastic price! This is a great additive to any insect repellent blend, and quite strong, not much is needed. This is by far the best price I've seen on the market for such a great quality oil.
