Externally, thuja was used as a poultice to treat burns, rheumatism, gout, arthritis, warts, and psoriasis.

Specimens found growing on cliff faces in southern Ontario are the oldest trees in Eastern North America and all of Canada, having achieved ages in excess of 1,653 years. [4] Uses [ edit ] The wood is light, soft and aromatic. It can be easily split and resists decay. The wood has been used for many applications from making chests that repel moths to shingles. Thuja poles are also often used to make fence posts and rails. The wood of Thuja plicata is commonly used for guitar sound boards. [23] Its combination of light weight and resistance to decay has also led to T. plicata being widely used for the construction of bee hives.

Thujone-containing species are frequently used as natural remedies in ethnobotanical applications. Wormwood, as a well-known species containing thujone, has been used in folk remedies in Europe as a gynecological agent for abortion and to induce menstruation. Even now it is still used in Yemen to alleviate the pains associated with parturition (Rätsch 2005). According to Tan et al. ( 1998), wormwood has been used as traditional medicine in Asia due to its antimalarial, antiviral, antitumor, spasmolytic and other effects. Essential oil of T. occidentalis containing thujone as a major compound, has been widely used in folk medicine for the treatment of hepatoprotection, bronchial catarrh, rheumatism, psoriasis, and uterine carcinomas (Küpeli Akkol et al. 2015; Dhiman et al. 2012). In homeopathy, the extract of T. occidentalis containing about 65% α-thujone, is used as mother tincture in preparations against a number of diseases (Torres et al. 2016). Thuja preparations with thujone were regularly used by the American Indian traditional healers. The soup and the tea prepared from the inner bark of the soft twigs could relieve constipation and headache (Ellingwood 1919). It has been also used for the treatment of polyps, birthmarks, wounds, and as a painkilling and anthelmintic remedy (Pudełek et al. 2019). Some medications that increase the chance of having a seizure include anesthesia ( propofol, others), antiarrhythmics (mexiletine), antibiotics (amphotericin, penicillin, cephalosporins, imipenem), antidepressants (bupropion, others), antihistamines ( cyproheptadine, others), immunosuppressants (cyclosporine), narcotics (fentanyl, others), stimulants (methylphenidate), theophylline, and others. When applied to the skin: There isn't enough reliable information to know if thuja is safe or what the side effects might be. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It's LIKELY UNSAFE to take thuja by mouth if you are pregnant. Thuja might cause a miscarriage. It is also LIKELY UNSAFE to take thuja by mouth if you are breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

Low white blood cell count (leukopenia). Early research suggests that taking a specific product containing vitamin C and extracts of thuja, echinacea, and wild indigo (Esberitox N) by mouth in improves white blood cell counts in people with low numbers of white blood cells after having received chemotherapy for 6 months or less. However, it does not seem to improve white blood cell counts in people who received chemotherapy for longer time periods. Also, other research suggests that Esberitox N does not improve white blood cell counts when used by women receiving radiation treatment. However, the only other option is just to sit tight and to wait a bit longer, so it may be worth considering if the homeopathy doesn't work. The stage of development can be a determinant for the accumulation of secondary compounds during plant life (Németh 2005). Concomitantly, the composition of the essential oil including thujone may undergo major changes. During the plant development of wormwood ( A. absinthium), the ratio of both main compounds (α-thujone and β-thujone) reached its highest value (66.8% and 25.4%, respectively) at floral budding and decreased after the flowering stage (Nguyen et al. 2018a). The results of Nguyen et al. ( 2018a) are in agreement with the findings of Carnat et al. ( 1992), who have reported that the content of thujone decreased during the ontogenetic phases. Perry et al. ( 1999) have proved that the total concentration of thujones (mainly cis-thujone) in S. officinalis oils differed during the vegetative period: the thujone content of the EO decreased sharply and significantly from over 40% to 25% after the flowering stage. From Iranian sage studied by Mirjalili et al. ( 2006), α-thujone (25.1%) was a major component of ripened fruit oil collected in the last phenological stage; however, in earlier developmental phases this component was found in only 9.1–13.2%. Ben Farhat et al. ( 2016) also reported that the percentages of thujone varied depending on the phenological period and reached the highest level at the fruiting stage. Nguyen et al. ( 2019) registered the highest level of α-thujone accumulation in sage leaf oils at the vegetative stage and budding floral stage (23.2–24.7%) and decreased significantly during the flowering period while in flower oils, the peak of this component was detected at the floral budding stage (14.2%) with no significant changes after that. It seems to be a general phenomenon that the accumulation of volatile compounds reaches a peak at the earlier developmental phases, usually at the beginning of flowering, and decreases sharply after flowering and during seed ripening (Mohammadi et al. 2015; Németh et al. 2007). Decreasing ratios of α-thujone during development in the EO of S. officinalis L. were also reported by Santos-Gomes and Fernandes-Ferreira ( 2001) and Shadi and Saharkhiz ( 2016). Similarly, in the case of tansy, Wolf et al. ( 2012) have reported that β-thujone (55–79%) was the main compound found in both introduced or native tansy in North America. The highest amount of α-thujone (44%) was detected in Iranian tansy in two separate stages: in the leaf rosette stage and the beginning of fruit set (Goudarzi et al. 2015). Németh et al. ( 1994) described a slight increase of thujone content in the shoots of tansy from 42% after sprouting out to 62% during seed ripening phase. The dynamics of volatile content in the case of thujone accumulation may also be in connection with the development of oil glands and an intensive biosynthesis of volatile molecules due to their specific roles in ecological adaptation and other physiological mechanisms of the plants (Guitton et al. 2010; Németh et al. 2001). Medications that decrease the immune system (Immunosuppressants)Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.Talk with your health provider. The substance thujone found in the herb is highly toxic, and if it is intended for internal use, it must only be used in very small amounts and never for a longer period than two weeks.

In terms of our study, the genus Juniperus presents a much larger intrageneric and intraspecific variability. In numerous species, like J. chinensis (Carroll et al. 2011), J. communis (Carroll et al. 2011; Lohani et al. 2010), J. excelsa (Unlu et al. 2008), J. phoenicea L. (Mazari et al. 2010) or J. saltuaria (Wedge et al. 2009), J. virginiana (Chelsey et al. 2015), and J. scopulorum (Zheljazkov et al. 2013) thujones either appear at most in traces, or not at all. Based on the reports, J. foetidissima shows a large intraspecific variability as both α- or β-thujone may be present as main compounds, but depending on the origin there are also accessions free of thujones (Tunalier et al. 2002) or accumulating only traces of them (Asili et al. 2010). Similarly, samples of the Chinese J. squamata var. fargesii may contain β-thujone in a high propotion (Adams et al. 1996) or being free of it entirely (Wedge et al. 2009). Only 1.1% thujone was detected in J. indica by Lohani et al. ( 2010), while 25% β-thujone was the main compound of the same species in the analysis of Adams and Chaudhary ( 1996). As comparison studies show, there does not seem to be a clear connection between the EO composition and the origin of the samples: J. cedrus from the Canary Islands, J. brevifolia from the Azores, J. communis from Eastern Europe, J. conferta from Japan, J. formosana and J. navicularis from Portugal, J. oblonga (from Albania, Turkey and Iran), and J. oxycedrus from Asia were all free of thujones (Adams 1998). Interestingly, the biosynthetic precursor of the thujones, sabinene, appears frequently as a main constituent in Cupressus and Juniperus EOs (Padalia et al. 2013; Pierre-Leandri et al. 2003; Zheljazkov et al. 2013).

J Clin Lab Anal. 1996;10(6):441-445. View abstract. There is an open debate on the effect of monoterpene thujone on human health. As for the potential benefits and/or harms of thujone, we should mention the special history of wormwood, which is connected to absinth, a popular strong spirit aromatised by Artemisia absinthium. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the production of absinth was prohibited in several countries as its consumption was associated with a range of severe adverse symptoms called absinthism, including convulsions, blindness, hallucinations and mental deterioration (Lachenmeier et al. 2006a; Padosch et al. 2006). There are even some detailed cases reported in the literature from the very early times until recently. It was supposed that thujone was to blame for those cases (Weisbord et al. 1997). The study of Dettling et al. ( 2004) on 25 healthy subjects who consumed thujone-containing alcoholic beverages showed that the simultaneous administration of alcohol and high concentrations of thujone (100 mg/l) may severely affect attention performance.

But it is POSSIBLY UNSAFE to take thuja in the larger amounts found in medicine. Large doses of thuja can cause queasiness, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, and death. Despite the fact that the herb has been used for hundreds of years in folk medicine there has been little scientific research on the therapeutic benefits of the plant, at least if compared with some other more known viral inhibitory herbs like echinacea (Echinacea spp). Thuja are evergreen trees growing from 10 to 200 feet (3 to 61 metres) tall, with stringy-textured reddish-brown bark. The shoots are flat, with side shoots only in a single plane. The leaves are scale-like and 1 to 10mm (0.039 to 0.394in) long, except young seedlings in their first year, which have needle-like leaves. The scale leaves are arranged in alternating decussate pairs in four rows along the twigs. The male cones are small, inconspicuous, and are located at the tips of the twigs. The female cones start out similarly inconspicuous, but grow to about 1 to 2cm (0.39 to 0.79in) long at maturity when 6–8 months old; they have 6-12 overlapping, thin, leathery scales, each scale bearing 1–2 small seeds with a pair of narrow lateral wings.

The first monoterpene in this route is sabinene, the formation of which is catalyzed by the enzyme sabinene-synthase (SS). Sabinene has been demonstrated to be the precursor of thujone in A. absinthium, T. vulgare and S. officinalis (Karp and Croteau 1982). This enzyme is considered as a ‘hotspot’ of chemotype evolution in sage (Grausgruber-Gröger et al. 2012). SS in Thuja plicata is supposed to be regulated by a single genomic locus (Foster et al. 2013). The latter authors proposed it as a candidate for marker-assisted selection in breeding because of its basic significance as a precursor of thujones. While the biosynthesis of other monoterpenes from the GPP precursor is frequently under transcriptional control (Schmiderer et al. 2010; Xie et al. 2008), in sage ( S. officinalis) no direct correlation could be found between mRNA level and that of the sabinene end product, which reflects a more complex genetic/metabolomic regulation (Grausgruber-Gröger et al. 2012). You certainly do seem to be having a problem with your feet. I don't think I've come across somebody with so many verrucae before; it must be a real pain for you. Unlike the closely related western red cedar ( Thuja plicata), northern white cedar is only a small or medium-sized tree, growing to a height of 15m (49ft) tall with a 0.9m (3.0ft) trunk diameter, exceptionally to 38 metres (125ft) tall and 1.8 metres (5.9ft) diameter. [7] The tree is often stunted or prostrate in less favorable locations. The bark is red-brown, furrowed and peels in narrow, longitudinal strips.
