The homeopathic remedy thuja is prepared using the leaves and twigs of a young thuja tree, belonging to a genus of coniferous trees in the Cupressaceae family and is used to treat a variety of ailments and health problems. Trees belonging to this family of plants are perennial and grow up to a height of anything between 10 feet and 60 feet (around 3.0 meters to 18 meters) and have a stringy texture with a bark that is reddish-brown in color. All the shoots of this tree are straight having side shoots in a single level.

Commonly known as arborvitaes, derived from the Latin term denoting 'tree for life', thujas bear leaves similar to scales and measuring about 1 mm to 10 mm in length and arranged in cross-like pair in four rows all along the branches. However, young seedlings have leaves akin to needles in their first year of existence. The male cones produced by the tree are comparatively smaller and are very discreet growing at the branch terminals. On the other hand, although the female cones emerge as equally ordinary, they grow to around 1 cm to 2 cm when mature after they are six to eight months old. The female cones of the thujas have anything between 6 and 12 overlying, slender, leather-like scales. Each of these scales produces one to two tiny seeds that possess a pair of thin wings on the sides.
The thujas are cultivated extensively as decorative trees and generally used as hedgerows. In fact, there are five species of thujas, two native to North America and the remaining indigenous to eastern Asia. Normally, home owners grow these trees along the boundary of their land to ensure privacy between them and their neighbors. Among all the cultivars of this species, the 'Green Giant' is the most popular and this particular tree grows extremely robustly as hedgerows. In fact, when they are still young, they grow as much as 80 cm annually.
The timber of the thuja trees is virtually weightless, gentile and perfumed. While the wood from this tree is easy to split, it is resilient to decomposition and is used for numerous purposes, for instance making chests that ward off moths and even shingles. In addition, poles of the thuja trees are used as posts for fencing as well as rails. The timber of one particular species called Thuja plicata is widely used for making the sounding boards of guitars.
In addition to the various utilities of the wood of thuja trees, the essential oil obtained from thujas encloses terpene thujone. Scientists have undertaken numerous researches on terpene thujone for its GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) receptor antagonistic, accompanied by possibly dangerous/ toxic attributes.
Moreover, the indigenous people of Canada were early to recognize the therapeutic properties of the thujas and used the needles (leaves) of a particular variety of the plant Thuja occidentalis, commonly known as the Eastern White Cedar, to prepare an herbal tea. The herbal tea prepared with the needles of this species of thujas has been found to enclose 50 mg of vitamin C in every 100 grams of the substance and is very effective in treating scurvy (a disease characterized by distended and bleeding gums).

The American Indians also used thuja for its durable wood as well as for medicinal purposes, especially to treat coughs, fever, headaches, menstrual disorders, as well as pains in the muscles and joints. When the Europeans began settling in America, they also adopted thuja in their traditional medicines. In addition, the tall thuja trees became popular among the European settlers as ornamental plants in their gardens who often used them for fencing purposes. Many years later, the founder of the alternative stream of medicine homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann proved the efficacy as well as safety of the medication thuja and published his findings in his Materia Medica Pura sometime during 1821 and 1834.
People who respond best to the homeopathic remedy thuja are those who are generally serious and sensitive and get upset quite easily feeling that they are not loved by anyone. Such people usually put up a nice image before everyone, but if they get negative response from any one, they tend to ignore their appearance and become very enigmatic as well as depressed. Such people have illusions regarding their body and this is very obvious to others. They may even possess zealous perceptions or mistrust, accompanied by a feeling that all other people are trying to manoeuvre them. In addition, such people also have a tendency to sleep deficiently.

While different parts of the thuja trees have been in use in traditional medicine since long and have been found to be effective in treating a number of health conditions, as far as the preparation of the homeopathic remedy from this plant is concerned it is of great importance. In fact, only the freshly obtained leaves and twigs of a young one year old thuja plant are used for preparing the homeopathic remedy thuja. The fresh leaves and twigs of the young thuja plant are chopped into fine pieces and subsequently marinated or macerated in alcohol. The resultant solution is strained, watered down to desired levels and succussed till not even the slightest trace or attribute of the plant remains in the final product - the homeopathic medication thuja. In fact, all homeopathic medications are prepared in such a manner that they do not retain any trace of the original substance they are made from.
The therapeutic properties of the thuja trees were known to the indigenous tribes of North America who used the leaves and twigs of this coniferous tree to cure coughs, malaria, rheumatism and gout. Although, extracts of any of the parts of the tree were never used in orthodox medicine, the essential oil obtained from one particular species Thuja occidentalis or the Eastern White Cedar is still used in aromatherapy for the treatment of acne and hair loss.
Besides being a very crucial medication for treating warts, the homeopathic remedy thuja is prescribed for people enduring various skin disorders, for instance, oily skin, as well as to treat fragile nails.
