Thuja
Essential Oil Profile (Cedar leaf Oil Profile)
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
