Thuja occidentalis: which product matches the label
Updated: October 2026
You searched for thuja and found oils, a pet cream, a 25 g tube, a gel with no reviews, and a bottle of 30c tablets. Those are not sizes of one medicine. Thuja occidentalis is the Latin name on several of them, and the useful question is which product that name is attached to. This guide stops at that fork. Pack sizes, star lines, and the eleven amazon.co.uk listings are on the [Thuja comparison](/hub/diy-supplies/thuja), from files stored on 15 October 2026. Peter F. checked those listings. No lab test. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Four products share the name
In this set the name covers an essential oil, a cream or ointment, a gel, and homeopathic tablets. An oil is a steam-distilled liquid, usually 5 ml or 10 ml, with a bullet that says not to put it on skin neat. A cream is already in a base you spread. Phytopet is labelled for animals, and Topi is a 25 g skin tube at £3.20. Weleda is Thuja 30c tablets, two bottles of 125, at £19.55.
The NHS wart page describes pharmacy salicylic acid products. It does not mention thuja, so a listing here is not that pharmacy class. Therapeutic grade on an oil bullet is seller wording, not an MHRA grade.
Oil is a distillate, not a tube
Six listings state steam-distilled Thuja occidentalis, origin India, and a line that says do not apply the oil directly. Volumes are 5 ml or 10 ml, and Greenwood's 10 ml bottle with a glass dropper is £11.99. None of that turns the oil into a cream you dab the way you would a tube.
Cedar leaf and cedarwood are the mix-up that sends people to the wrong bottle. Oshadhi, a UK seller, identifies Thuja occidentalis as cedar leaf, not Atlas cedarwood. Neat-use reviews are on how to use thuja oil.
Cream, ointment, and gel are not the same user
Phytopet is the only pot here labelled for a dog, a horse, and a farm animal. It is a white 150 g cream at £17.36, and the bullets name Thuja occidentalis. If the animal is why you searched, use thuja cream for dogs.
Topi is the other cream: 25 g at £3.20, not labelled as a pet product. The 4.1 from 842 headers split between slow change and no change. That is a reason to keep expectations modest, not a ranking of cures. Jesica is three 25 g ointments at £11.19. The age field says Kid, there is no ingredient list, and the texts are marked United States. An age field is not a UK children's medicine.
30c tablets are a homeopathic pack
Weleda's listing is tablets, Thuja 30c, 125 times two, country of origin United Kingdom on the amazon file, at £19.55. Weleda's own UK page says the 30C tablets have no approved therapeutic indications. The stored file is 4.1 from 11. One UK text says about 100 days of tablets did nothing for verrucas. Tablets are the wrong buy if you wanted a cream or an oil, and the only buy here if you wanted Weleda 30c.
What to open next
If you want a shortlist inside the eleven, with a reason to skip shared stars and the empty gel, use which thuja listing fits the job. This page will not name one winner, because a pet pot, a £3.20 tube, and a 30c tablet are different jobs. It will also not say that any listing removes a wart or molluscum.
Common questions
Is thuja oil the same as cedarwood oil?
No. Thuja occidentalis on these bottles is cedar leaf, which Oshadhi distinguishes from Atlas cedarwood. That UK seller also says cedar-leaf oil is not for everyday aromatherapy and should be avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If your usual bottle says cedarwood and a different Latin name, it is not this oil under a shorter label. Check the botanical line before you blend it or put it in a diffuser you already use.
Is a 30c tablet a spoon of the herb?
No. 30c is a homeopathic dilution mark on the Weleda tablets, not a kitchen measure of thuja herb. GOV.UK describes the simplified scheme as quality and dilution, not an approved indication. Weleda's UK page says the 30C tablets have no approved therapeutic indications and that they contain lactose and sucrose. The amazon listing is two bottles of 125 tablets at £19.55, and it does not print a dose.
Which listing is actually for a dog?
Phytopet's 150 g cream is the only product in this set labelled for a dog, a horse, and a farm animal. The amazon price in the saved listing is £17.36. Topi, the oils, Jesica, the gel, and the Weleda tablets do not carry that animal label. Reviews on the Phytopet page often describe people, and those stories do not turn the pot into a human medicine or turn the other tubes into pet products.
Why are several oils the same price for 5 ml and for 10 ml?
In this captured set, several bottles are £9.99 whether the title says 5 ml or 10 ml. The Greenwood 10 ml with a dropper is £11.99, and the Deve Herbes twin pack states 20 ml at £14.02. The shelf price is not a unit price. Read the millilitres on the title you are buying, and do not assume a 5 ml bottle contains as much oil as a 10 ml bottle at the same figure.
Does therapeutic grade mean a UK medicine?
No. On these oil bullets it is seller wording, not an MHRA licence, and it does not mean the oil is safe to swallow or to use neat. A star rating is listing traffic, not a clinical result. The Indianearth gel is a separate problem: two 25 g units at £9.99, brand field Generic, and no stars, ingredients, or directions. Thuja in that title is not the same as a listing that states Thuja occidentalis.
