Known as the "tree of life", Arborvitae is majestic in size and abundant in unique benefits. Our Tree of Life essential oil is obtained from the heartwood of the Thuja Plicata tree. It is also known as western red cedar and is native to North America (primarily Canada and the northwestern United States). This unique source of arborvitae essential oil contains a distinct chemical profile and is exclusively concentrated in methylgauto. The sourcing arrangements for this oil are made in an innovative and environmentally responsible manner by distilling residual wood materials to ensure no trees are unnecessarily harvested for production. Native to Canada, all parts of the Arborvitae tree were used extensively by Native Americans for health benefits and to build boats, totems, baskets, and clothing. Due to its natural preservation properties, Arborvitae prevents wood from rotting, making it popular in the wood industry and for preserving natural wood surfaces.
