Ground Yourself on Tree Planting Day with doTERRA’s Tree-Based Essential Oils

Australia’s National Tree Planting Day is celebrated on Sunday, 27th July 2025 — a perfect moment to reconnect with nature, take climate-positive action, and embrace the beauty of trees. The roots of this celebration reach back to World Arbor Day, first held in 1872 in Nebraska, USA. Founded by nature advocate J. Sterling Morton, the day became a global movement dedicated to planting trees and recognising their vital role in sustaining life. Today, from Australia to Zimbabwe, tree planting is a shared global mission toward a greener future.

At doTERRA, the power of trees is honoured daily through our essential oils sourced from roots, bark, leaves and resins. These tree-based oils offer a unique ability to centre the mind, calm emotions and support wellbeing — qualities that align beautifully with the spirit of National Tree Planting Day. In this blog, we’ll explore key doTERRA single oils and blends derived from trees, their countries of origin, and how you can use them to create a sense of grounding and connection.
