Nootka Essential Oil

Nootka Essential Oil
Cupressus nootkatensis | Wood | Steam Distilled | Origin: Canada

Nootka Essential Oil, steam distilled from the heartwood of the Canadian Cupressus nootkatensis tree, is a deeply grounding and robust oil with a rich, earthy aroma. Its scent profile is dry, woody, and slightly smoky, offering a powerful sense of strength, resilience, and protection.

Traditionally, Nootka wood has been used by Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest for both practical and ceremonial purposes. In aromatherapy, its oil is valued for its ability to ground emotions, calm the mind, and create an atmosphere of stability and focus. Its deep, protective character makes it a beautiful addition to meditation blends, natural perfumes, or body oils designed to encourage balance and emotional clarity.
