In Japan, the oil is frequently used in baths for relaxation and the tree itself has historical significance. The wood has been used for centuries to build shrines and temples and is still used today in the timber industry. The Hinoki tree has been over-populating in several areas of Japan and through our sourcing program, Hinoki is not only helping to create jobs in rural Japan, but its harvesting is also contributing to Japan’s forest management programs. doTERRA utilises by-product from the timber industry and culled trees, ensuring that no part of these prized trees goes to waste. This unique, premium oil continues to give back to the people of its native land.
