My daily picture – Thuja

Thuja is a shrub rich in ethereal oils. Few of us know that this coniferous tree is more than a decorative plant. Thuja is endowed with exceptional healing properties. Particularly helps in reducing pain, toning the skin and treating dermatological conditions.

To heal wounds and relieve rheumatic pains, the thuja ointment can be used.

I remembered that I was a chemist and I prepared an ointment using thuja leaves, olive oil, honey, and beeswax!  Smells nice! Hope it helps!?

  1. In the US, we call this cedar. A few cedars here are ornamental bushes, but some are large trees. I used to make incense out of incense cedar cones. I love the smell. I’ve also placed a small piece of cedar wood in a clothes drawer to keep the clothes smelling fresh. A long time ago, I had a cedar chest that was made out of red cedar wood.
