Thuja Essential Oil Profile (Cedar leaf Oil Profile) General - Thuja is a well-known
ornamental North American evergreen; it can reach a height of 70-80 feet,
retaining its dense, pyramidal form. This hardy evergreen has a dense,
scale-like foliage, waxy to the touch, and fragrant. The name Thuja is a
Latinized form of a Greek word meaning 'to fumigate,' or thuo ('to sacrifice'),
for the fragrant wood was burnt by the ancients with sacrifices. In America the
wood is much used for fencing and palings, as a light roofing timber, and, as it
is both durable and pliable, for the ribs and bottom of bark boats, and also for
limekilns, bowls, boxes, cups, and small articles of furniture. The odor is
pungent and balsamic and the taste bitter, resembling camphor and terebinth

tea for headaches and colds, in cough syrups, and in steam baths for rheumatism,
