Cedar Leaf (Thuja) Oil
Thuja essential oil is extracted from the thuja tree, scientifically known as Thuja occidentalis and it is basically a coniferous tree, while normally not very tall. Crushed thuja leaves emit a pleasant smell which is somewhat like that of crushed eucalyptus leaves, but sweeter. This smell comes from some of the components of its essential oil, predominantly some variants of thujone.
The chief constituents of this oil are alpha-pinene, alpha-thujone, beta-thujone, bornyl acetate, camphene, camphone, delta sabinene, fenchone, and terpineol. This essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of its leaves and branches.
Uses & Benefits:-
An astringent is a substance which can make muscles (tissues), nerves, and even blood vessels contract or shrink, and can sometimes have a cooling effect. Astringents that are meant for external applications induce local contractions. One such example is the fluorides and other compounds used in toothpaste. To have this effect of contraction on all the organs of the body, the astringent needs to be ingested so that it mixes with the bloodstream and reaches all parts of the body. Most of those astringents are herbal products, just like the essential oil of thuja. Now, what happens when it is ingested? It mixes with the blood and induces contractions in the gums, muscles, skin, and at the roots of hair which strengthens the hold of gums on teeth, makes muscles firm, and gives a lift to the skin, prevents hair loss and makes you feel fit and younger. Furthermore, it makes the blood vessels to contract, which can slow down or stop hemorrhaging from torn or cut vessels.
This property of thuja essential oil is very helpful for women. It gives them relief from obstructed menses as well as from the abdominal pain, cramps, nausea, and fatigue associated with periods. It also makes periods regular and keeps the female reproductive organs in good health by promoting the secretion of certain hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
Clears Respiratory Tract
One needs an expectorant for expelling phlegm and catarrh deposited in the respiratory tracts and lungs. This essential oil is an expectorant. It gives you a clear, decongested chest, helps you breathe easily, clears out mucus and phlegm, and gives relief from coughs.
The toxicity of thuja essential oil can kill insects and keeps them away from households or areas where it is applied. This is as true for parasitic insects like mosquitoes, lice, ticks, fleas, and bed bugs as it is for other insects found in households like cockroaches, ants, white ants, and moths. This oil can replace those costly, synthetic chemicals in mosquito and cockroach repellant sprays, fumigants, and vaporizers.
This is another outcome of the irritant property of thuja essential oil, which again comes from its stimulating properties. This oil produces very mild irritation on the skin and stimulates the circulation of blood below the skin, which, when added together, makes the skin look red. Since it is more visible on the face, this property is called a rubefacient, meaning "Red Face", property. Besides making you look more vibrant, this also helps in the regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin due to increased circulation of blood.
Besides stimulating blood circulation, thuja essential oil stimulates the secretion of hormones, enzymes, gastric juices, acids, and bile, as well as stimulating peristaltic motion, and the nerves, heart, and brain. Furthermore, it stimulates the regeneration of growth cells, erythrocytes, leucocytes, and platelets. This means that it stimulates the whole body, which leads to more activity, alertness, and a faster metabolism, which results in better growth and protection against diseases.
The toxicity of thuja essential oil, due to the presence of thujone, kills worms that may have infected the body. It can eliminate worms like roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms that can result in a number of uncomfortable and dangerous health conditions.

Fragrance oil(s), also known as aroma oils, aromatic oils, and flavor oils, are blended synthetic aroma compounds or natural essential oils that are diluted with a carrier like propylene glycol, vegetable oil, or mineral oil.
Absolutes
Absolutes are similar to essential oils. They are concentrated, highly aromatic, oily mixtures extracted from plants. Whereas essential oils are produced by distillation, boiling or pressing, absolutes are produced through solvent extraction, or more traditionally, through enfleurage. Used in perfumery and aromatherapy.

Where do essential oils come from?
The short answer is, essential oils come from plants. Essential oils are an oil which has typically been distilled-usually using steam or water-from the bark, leaves, flower, roots, or other parts of the plant. They are highly concentrated oils that contain both the aromatic and chemical properties of the plant.
Your essential oils cost less than other brands, how can you offer such low prices?
We do purchase in very large quantity of raw materials so that we can provide the best rates with the best quality.
Are your oils watered down or diluted in any way?
No, both our pure and natural essential oils and our certified organic essential oils are never diluted or watered down in any way. We do offer a variety of essential oil blends, some of which are combined with carrier oils such as jojoba, but these blends are manufactured specifically as blends and are clearly labeled as such to avoid any confusion.
Do essential oils have a grading system to tell me which is better?
There is no official grading system that grades essential oils as A, B, C or Therapeutic grade. All NOW pure essential oils are accurately labeled as such and are the highest purity and quality available.
Are NOW essential oils cruelty free?
Yes. Our essential oils are vegan and we do not do any animal testing on any of our products.
Can I use essential oils in my house without a diffuser?
You can! There are great ways to use oils without a diffuser.
Are essential oils the same as fragrance oils?
No, they aren't. As I mentioned above, essential oils are distilled from plants. Fragrance oils are synthetically created in a laboratory.
A chemist manufactures a scent so it smells like something else. Ever had a candle that smells like apple pie? That was a fragrance oil at work.
