Protection Against Seasonal Threats
Arborvitae offers some therapeutic benefits. It contains the compound tropolone, which can support the immune system to provide protection against seasonal threats. Add a few drops to a tissue and inhale to clear stuffy sinuses and reduce inflammation. You can also use it in a diffuser to protect your family against seasonal threats.
Freshen Your Home
Arborvitae has cleansing properties that can not only be used to clean surfaces in your home, but also freshen the air. This oil creates an earthy, warm scent that can promote a relaxing, fresh atmosphere inside your home. Diffuse in rooms or add a few drops to water and spray on surfaces as a DIY cleaner.
