Derived from the wood of the Japanese Hinoki tree, Hinoki essential oil is soothing to the skin. When applied topically, its fresh, woody and balsamic aroma helps to provide a relaxing environment. Additionally, Hinoki essential oil provides a soothing massage. In Japan, the oil is frequently used in baths for relaxation and the tree itself has been used for centuries to build shrines and temples. doTERRA utilises by-product of Hinoki trees from the timber industry and culled trees for the production of Hinoki essential oil, ensuring that no part of these prized trees goes to waste. In addition, doTERRA has instituted a unique sourcing model that ensures production of Hinoki essential oil contributes to Japan’s forest management programs as well as creates jobs in rural Japan. This unique, premium oil continues to give back to the people of its native land.
