Thuja occ (arbor vitae /  tree of life)

This comprehensive single’s applications cover many symptoms and individual traits. Most touted of these are its skin uses which include warts, brown spots, dry skin, and sensitive eruptions that itch but worsen with scratching. It also applies to weak brittle nails especially if due to a nail fungus.
   It can relieve vicious headaches with pressure at the root of the nose “as if a nail were driven in”, but the pain may grow to extend over the head, especially on the left side. These may be related to the colds Thuja can relieve which are marked by thick green mucus, hacking coughs and raw, sore nasal passages.
    Thuja’s digestive relief applies to nausea with loss of appetite, gas, eructations, flatulence and pain after eating, especially if onions are not tolerated. Hemorrhoids, colicky constipation and morning diarrhea can find it helpful, as well.
    The individuals who get the most from Thuja have dry but oily skin. They tend to be sensitive to music (weeping with church music), feel very frail, lack concern for personal appearance or cleanliness and may project a feeling of incompetence or ugliness. With professional guidance, it has more systemic applications. Thuja’s symptoms tend to feel worse in a cold damp atmosphere and better with warmth, though getting too bundled and hot in bed may make things worse.
