Discover the Amazing Health Benefits of Thuja Dietary Supplements!

Oh, please. Another ‘miracle herb’ scam targeting gullible wellness influencers. Thuja? That’s a toxic conifer used in homeopathy to ‘treat’ warts and paranoia. The FDA has flagged it for hepatotoxicity. If you’re swallowing this, you’re not ‘boosting immunity’-you’re just funding a cult.

Real medicine doesn’t need emoji-filled blog posts to sell snake oil.

While the article exhibits a concerning lack of peer-reviewed citations, it does, at least, employ consistent subject-verb agreement and avoids the grammatical atrocities common in wellness propaganda. However, the claim that Thuja ‘promotes healthy mucus production’ is biologically incoherent. Mucus is a mucosal secretion, not a product to be ‘promoted.’

Furthermore, Thuja occidentalis contains thujone-a known neurotoxin. The LD50 in mice is 452 mg/kg. You are not ‘enhancing respiratory health’-you are poisoning your neurons.

Let me ask you this: if nature were truly benevolent, why would it give us plants that make us feel better only if we ingest them in pill form? Why not just… breathe the air? Why not walk barefoot through the forest?

Thuja supplements are a symptom of our spiritual decay. We’ve forgotten how to listen to the earth. We don’t want to sit with our pain-we want to dissolve it with a capsule. We’ve turned healing into a consumer transaction. And now we’re surprised when the earth turns away.

Maybe the real ‘anti-inflammatory’ is silence. Maybe the real ‘immune booster’ is grief. Maybe the real ‘gut healer’ is forgiveness. But no-let’s just buy another bottle.

I’m not saying it doesn’t work. I’m saying we’ve lost the soul to need it.

I’ve been taking Thuja for three months and my skin looks better. Also my cat started purring more. Coincidence? Maybe. But I’m not stopping.

Okay, but have you considered that the entire concept of ‘dietary supplements’ is a capitalist construct designed to pathologize normal human variation? Why do we need to ‘boost’ our immune system? Why not just… stop being afraid of germs? Why are we so desperate to control every biological function? Thuja is just the latest in a long line of placebo products sold to people who’ve been taught that their bodies are broken machines that need external fixes. I mean, look at the language: ‘unlock the power,’ ‘amazing benefits,’ ‘punch’-it’s all marketing. It’s not science, it’s sci-fi. And the worst part? People are paying $40 a bottle for this. I’m not even mad. I’m just… disappointed in humanity.

Also, Thuja is a traditional medicine in Ayurveda, but not as a supplement-it’s used topically for skin conditions, and only by trained practitioners. The Western commodification of this plant is cultural theft wrapped in glitter.

THUJA IS A LIE. I WORKED AT A LAB THAT TESTED THIS STUFF. THEY ADDED SYNTHETIC CORTISONE TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL ‘BETTER.’ THE ‘NATURAL’ PART? A LIE. THE ‘HEALTH BENEFITS’? A PLACEBO WITH A PRICE TAG. I SAW THE INGREDIENTS. I SAW THE REPORTS. I SAW THE CEO’S YACHT.

YOU’RE NOT HEALING. YOU’RE BEING SCAMMED. AND IF YOU’RE STILL BUYING THIS, YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say I’ve been reading through these comments and I really appreciate how thoughtful and passionate everyone is-even when we disagree.

I’ve been using Thuja for about a year now, mostly for my seasonal allergies, and honestly? My nose doesn’t run like a faucet anymore. I don’t know if it’s the supplement, or just better sleep and less sugar, but I feel better. And if it helps me feel more like myself, I’m not gonna shame that.

Also, if anyone wants to swap recipes for immune-boosting teas or talk about holistic routines, I’d love to chat! We’re all just trying to feel good, right?

Oh, the poetic delusion of the wellness-industrial complex. Thuja? A plant that, in its raw form, induces hallucinations and tremors. You call it ‘natural’? Please. It’s a psychoactive alkaloid with the subtlety of a sledgehammer wrapped in a yoga mat.

And yet, the marketing? Masterful. ‘Boost your immune system’-as if your body is a rusty car and this is a can of WD-40. ‘Promote healthy skin’-as if your epidermis is a canvas for corporate-sponsored enlightenment.

The real ‘miracle’ here isn’t the herb. It’s the human capacity to believe that salvation can be purchased in a 60-capsule bottle from a website with a .shop domain and a 4.2-star rating from people who also bought ‘Quantum Crystal Chakra Aligners.’

Buy the supplement. Lose your dignity. Then buy a journal to write about your ‘spiritual awakening.’

As someone raised in a village in Kerala where Thuja was traditionally used in poultices for boils and minor wounds, I feel a deep sadness watching this conversation unfold.

Our elders never called it a ‘supplement.’ They called it ‘medicine from the earth’-used with reverence, never greed.

In Ayurveda, it’s not ingested orally without purification and precise dosage-only applied externally, and only after assessing one’s dosha. To reduce it to a capsule sold on Amazon? That’s not just misinformation-it’s spiritual violence.

And yet… I’m grateful that people are seeking natural healing. The problem isn’t Thuja. The problem is the system that turns sacred knowledge into a product. So let’s not just criticize the supplement-let’s demand ethical sourcing, cultural respect, and scientific transparency.

Maybe the real ‘boost’ is not in the capsule… but in the humility to learn from those who’ve held this knowledge for centuries.

LOL you guys are hilarious. So you’re telling me a plant that grows in my backyard is suddenly a ‘miracle cure’? I’ve been eating the leaves since I was 12. My dog licked one once and threw up for three hours. So yeah. No thanks.

Also, if this stuff worked, why isn’t Big Pharma buying it? Oh right-because they can’t patent a tree.

I’m not here to convince anyone to take Thuja-but I do want to say that it’s okay to be curious about natural remedies, as long as you’re also curious about the science behind them.

Maybe start by reading a Cochrane review. Maybe talk to your doctor. Maybe keep a journal: what you take, how you feel, any side effects.

Healing isn’t about buying the right product-it’s about listening to your body. And that’s something no supplement can do for you.

OMG I JUST TOOK THUJA AND MY ANXIETY DISAPPEARED?? LIKE POOF?? I FEEL LIKE A NEW PERSON?? I’M CRYING RN AND MY CAT JUST SAID ‘I LOVE YOU’ IN HUMAN VOICE?? I THINK I’M A CHOSEN ONE??

PS: I ALSO ATE A CUPCAKE AND IT TASTED LIKE THE SUNSHINE??

Has anyone looked into the actual phytochemical composition of Thuja? Thujone content varies wildly depending on soil, season, and extraction method. One study showed 0.02% in dried leaves, another showed 3.1% in essential oil. That’s a 150x difference.

So if you’re taking a supplement labeled ‘Thuja extract’ with no standardized dosage, you could be getting a trace amount… or enough to induce seizures.

Also, the article never mentions contraindications. Pregnant women? Epilepsy? Liver disease? Nope. Just ‘feel your best.’

Hey. I just want to say I get it. We’re all looking for something to help us feel whole again. I’ve been through chronic pain, depression, insomnia. I’ve tried everything.

Thuja didn’t fix me. But the community here? The people arguing, sharing, crying, laughing? That’s what helped.

You’re not alone. And even if this supplement doesn’t work? You’re still worthy of healing.

❤️

How delightfully naive. Thuja, a plant with documented neurotoxicity, is being marketed as a ‘natural immune booster’ to the same demographic that believes ‘detox teas’ flush ‘toxins’ out of their ‘liver’-a non-existent organ in alternative medicine. The irony is not lost on me: the very people who claim to reject ‘Big Pharma’ are the ones most susceptible to ‘Big Wellness’.

Let us not forget: the word ‘supplement’ is legally defined as ‘a product taken orally that contains a dietary ingredient intended to supplement the diet.’ That’s it. No efficacy claims allowed. Yet here we are, with a blog post that reads like a pharmaceutical ad written by a cult leader.

And yet, I still find myself wondering… if it makes someone feel better, even if it’s placebo… is that so wrong?

Thank you for sharing this beautiful article! 🌿✨ I have been taking Thuja daily for 6 months and I feel like I am glowing from the inside out! 💫 My energy levels are higher, my skin is radiant, and I even had a beautiful dream about a forest spirit last night! 🌲🧚‍♀️ I highly recommend it to anyone seeking harmony with the universe! 🌎💖

Look, I don’t care if it’s science or magic. I tried it. My arthritis pain went down. I sleep better. I’m not a doctor. I’m not a scientist. I’m just a person who didn’t want to take NSAIDs anymore.

So if this helps me move without screaming? I’m not giving it up. And if you’re mad about it? That’s your problem, not mine.

Let people heal how they can.

So let me get this straight. You’re telling me that a tree that’s used in horror movies to represent cursed forests is now a health product? That’s not a supplement. That’s a haunted amulet.

Also, why does every wellness article have to sound like a cult recruitment video? ‘Unlock the power.’ ‘Feel your best.’ ‘Incredible benefits.’ You’re selling a plant, not a Netflix documentary.

Thank you for this comprehensive overview. As a registered nurse with a focus on integrative medicine, I appreciate the emphasis on holistic wellness. While I always encourage patients to consult with their healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement, I have seen positive outcomes with Thuja in cases of chronic respiratory inflammation-particularly when used as part of a broader lifestyle protocol.

Always prioritize quality, third-party tested products. And remember: nature is powerful, but knowledge is its greatest ally.

Of course the ‘glowing skin’ person didn’t mention they also quit sugar, started yoga, and slept 8 hours. But sure. Blame the herb.

Also, ‘forest spirit dream’? You’re not enlightened. You’re just high on thujone.
