Origin: Plant-based
Thuya occidentalis is derived from the ornamental conifer known as the Canadian arborvitae or arborvitae. Often planted as a hedge around gardens, this shrub—which is used to beautify homes—also promotes human well-being. In fact, through ongoing research, homeopathy has discovered numerous therapeutic applications for it, including in ENT, pulmonology, dermatology, urology, gynecology, obstetrics, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, and neurology. However, it should be noted that, like other homeopathic remedies, the recommended dosages vary depending on the condition and its stage of progression.

Thuya occidentalis is a homeopathic remedy widely recognized for its many uses. This remedy is often prescribed to treat various conditions, ranging from respiratory infections to skin problems. In this article, we will explore the main indications for Thuya occidentalis and how it can benefit your health.
Respiratory and ENT Conditions
Thuya occidentalis is frequently used to treat the following conditions:
- Nasopharyngitis, recurrent tonsillitis, and ear infections: It helps relieve ear pain and treat chronic sinusitis.
- Chronic and recurrent bronchitis: This remedy is also used as a maintenance treatment for asthma, especially if symptoms worsen during the cold season.
For nasopharyngitis, recurrent tonsillitis, ear infections, earaches, and chronic sinusitis: Thuja occidentalis 15 CH: 5 granules per day for 3 months.
For chronic or recurrent bronchitis, or as a maintenance treatment for asthma: Thuja occidentalis 30 CH: 1 dose per week for 3 months.
Skin Problems: Treatment for Warts
Thuya occidentalis is also effective for treating warts, thanks to its antiviral and immunostimulant properties.
Thuya 5 CH: recommended if water retention is associated with weight gain and general bloating, along with evening swelling of the feet and a tendency toward warts. This condition is often seen following vaccination.
For long-term treatment of warts: it is recommended to take Thuja occidentalis 30 CH at a dose of once a week for 3 months.
Hidradenitis suppurativa, or Verneuil’s disease, is characterized by a range of symptoms, the most common of which are abscesses and skin nodules. This condition is highly debilitating, as it interferes with the affected individual’s social activities. Nevertheless, it is important to note that homeopathy can effectively treat the symptoms of this condition. Among the recommended homeopathic remedies are Thuya occidentalis and Belladonna. The former helps relieve irritation, while Belladonna helps reduce pus formation within abscesses.
Urogenital Disorders
Thuya occidentalis can be used to relieve symptoms associated with chronic urinary tract infections, an enlarged prostate, and bladder polyps.
Prostatism, prostatitis, andprostatic adenoma are the prostate conditions that most commonly affect men between the ages of 40 and 60. They are generally characterized by urinary disorders, pain localized in the pelvic or perineal region, pollakiuria, or dysuria. In all cases, they can be easily treated with several homeopathic remedies, including the mother tinctures of Pareira Brava and Sabal Serrulata, and dilutions of Thuya, Myristica, Belladonna, Sabal Serrulata, Conium Maculatum, Staphysagria, Rana bufo, and Baryta Carbonica. These remedies are indeed very effective at providing relief to patients and quickly eliminating the symptoms of their condition.
In cases of chronic urinary tract infections, enlarged prostate, or bladder polyps, follow a homeopathic treatment regimen for at least 3 months with a weekly dose of Thuja occidentalis 30 CH.
Leucorrhea: Irritating vaginal discharge
In cases of leucorrhea (a whitish, irritating vaginal discharge), Thuja occidentalis can help reduce irritation and inflammation.
For these gynecological conditions, homeopaths generally prescribe the homeopathic remedy Thuya occidentalis 30 CH, to be taken once a week for 3 months.
Eye Conditions
Thuya occidentalis is also indicated for the treatment of conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) and chalazions (inflammation at the base of an eyelash). A chalazion is a localized swelling on the eyelids. It is generally benign and can be easily treated with homeopathic remedies.
What is a chalazion?
A chalazion is a small, relatively hard cyst that forms on the eyelids. It is caused by a blockage in a sebaceous gland in the eyelid that secretes sebum. A chalazion can gradually resolve when treated with homeopathic remedies. It is important to treat a chalazion early to prevent an infection that could damage the eye.
Homeopathic remedies for treating a chalazion
If the chalazion has developed and pus has formed, the recommended treatment is to take Thuya Occidentalis in 30 Ch for a three-month course, taking a single dose per week. In some cases, the doctor may prescribe Staphysagria 7 Ch, 5 granules in the morning and evening for three months, to be taken in combination with Thuya Occidentalis.
The Benefits of Thuja Occidentalis
Thuya Occidentalis is a plant widely used in homeopathy to treat various skin conditions, including chalazions. It helps reduce inflammation and promotes the gradual breakdown of the cyst. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, Thuja Occidentalis helps prevent infections and accelerates the healing process.
The Combination of Thuja Occidentalis and Staphysagria
In some cases, it is recommended to combine Thuja occidentalis with Staphysagria. Staphysagria is a homeopathic remedy also known for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. This combination enhances the effects of both remedies and optimizes the treatment of chalazia.
For conjunctivitis and chalazia: take 1 dose per week of Thuja occidentalis 30 CH for 3 months. This homeopathic remedy can be combined with Staphysagria 7 CH: 5 granules morning and evening for 3 months.
Digestive and Intestinal Disorders
This homeopathic remedy is also useful for relieving digestive disorders such as borborygmi (intestinal gurgling sounds during digestion) and hydro-aerial sounds (noises caused by the presence of liquids and gases in a cavity, such as the stomach).
To treat digestive disorders, Thuya occidentalis 30 CH is recommended at a dose of once a week for 3 months.
Joint pain associated with cold and dampness
Thuya occidentalis can be used to relieve joint pain, particularly pain that is aggravated by cold and humidity.
For joint pain: Thuya occidentalis 30 CH —administer one dose per week for 3 months.
Side effects or post-treatment reactions
Thuya occidentalis may also be prescribed for conditions arising after or following medical treatment, such as vaccination, hormone therapy (in gynecology), antibiotic therapy, or corticosteroid therapy. It is also used to treat reactions caused by treatment, such as post-vaccination reactions.
For conditions arising following treatment: take 5 homeopathic granules of Thuja occidentalis 15 CH daily for 3 months.
In the event of a reaction triggered by treatment (particularly following a vaccine), take Thuya occidentalis according to the following dosage: 1 dose of 9 CH on the first day, 1 dose of 15 CH on the second day, 1 dose of 30 CH on the third day, and if necessary, continue with 1 dose per week of Thuya occidentalis 30 CH or every 15 days.
