Sick Building Syndrome Killer

Outstanding, quality product for cleaning. Per the National Center of Biological Information, Thuja Plicata kills Sick Building Syndrome. Kills most insects/parasites, too. This is the only quality Thuja Plicata that I have found on the market. I have been using it for over 1 1/2 years. I use it in the washer and on the dryer sheets, too. I order the large 16 oz bottle and have it in spray bottles throughout my home. I also use it to freshen/disinfect furniture. I do not use junk Febreze or toxic ammonia. Thuja Plicata also cleans air well in the diffuser. Superb product, and Rosemary Creek also has exceptional Customer Service!

  • Product Info

    Calming and Meditative

    Because Thujone is a natural sedative, its aromatic effects are said to regulate body rhythms. In a spiritual sense, the aroma of thuja may reset the body’s energies, releasing stagnant energies of the heart which brings about a feeling of renewal. The feelings of release of renewal brought about by thuja’s scent calms both the conscious and the unconscious mind.

    It is well known that oils from trees, especially Spruce, Cedarwood and Palo Santo provide a greater sense of well-being. This makes thuja helpful in releasing fears that may hold one back from advancing in the spiritual work on their life path that is buried in the unconscious or present in the conscious.
