5 Unexpected Benefits Of Arborvitae Oil For Hair Growth And Scalp Detox

 

Arborvitae oil is a natural essential oil extracted from the fresh leaves and young branches of the cypress tree *Thuja occidentalis* through steam distillation.

 

Its physical properties are that of a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong grounding, earthy, and meditative effect, which can help relieve daily stress.

 

In the 16th century, the crew of French explorer Jacques Cartier contracted scurvy. The Native Americans (St. Lawrence Iroquois) cured them by brewing a tea from the leaves and bark of the arborvitae tree. Therefore, this tree became known as the "Tree of Life," in Latin as Arborvitae.
