Biographical Info
Woodside Oils, an essential oil distillery owned and operated by dōTERRA, will produce the first pure Birch essential oil in the Global Aromatherapy and Essential Oils market.
In 2016, Royce Novosel-Johnson of Kane, reached out to dōTERRA with the hope that the trees from his family properties could be a good fit for dōTERRA’s future supply of Birch essential oil. Kane is located in the heart of very large forestry operations and these beautiful trees, when combined with a detailed understanding of the meticulous process of birch distillation, were an ideal fit. Understanding birch distillation came with the help of birch oil expert, Skip Cavanaugh from Wellsboro, since his great-grandfather, Skip and his family have kept records of their generational experience and knowledge of distilling birch.
With Skip’s help, dōTERRA through Woodside Oils are proud to carry on this rich legacy of producing Birch oil for its benefits to people, and to help support this region of Pennsylvania and its initiatives in sustainable forestry.
Birch essential oil will become available for regular purchase in the fall of 2023
