Observations and Anecdotal Information

Thuja essential oil is an herbal cancer treatment used by Native North Americans.  The oil has a very high level of anti-cancer, anti-tumoral and anti-viral properties, and is one of the herbalist’s most valuable resources in the healing of cancer.  It is considered a Master Herb by my Native American grandmothers, and it has earned that title completely.

It has been used as a topical treatment for viral conditions, and against viral warts and genital herpes.

Thuja is a valuable additive to cancer salves and drawing pastes; it can draw toxicity and infection out of tissue without harming the healthy cells.

It is also a parasiticide, again helpful for eliminating the underlying causal factor in most cancer conditions.  It can be added to cleansing formulas and parasite teas and tonics.  It can be taken daily for this purpose, but should normally not be taken for longer than 28 days at a time.  Inexperienced people should only use it internally with help from an herbalist or natural health professional until one has experience with this oil.

Thuja essential oil is known to strengthen the heart, tone the nervous system, and regenerate prostate and uterine conditions.  Because it has a high ketone content, it must be used carefully and consciously; not for pregnant women, children, and those with conditions that should avoid ketones.

When in doubt, it can be made into a homeopathic, in which case it will not create any toxic reactions.  It is also a good massage oil, with powerful pain relieving qualities.

Thuja is a master herb that can teach us much about healing very toxic conditions in the body.  Like many shaman’s herbs, this oil should be approached gently and humbly, by asking the spirit of thuja to guide and teach.  Many herbal healing secrets bordering on the miraculous,  can be accessed through the wisdom of this plant, for those who are patient and willing to put the information to use.
