Thujas are often planted in cemeteries, which is why many prejudices have arisen about this plant.
For example, it is believed that thuja spoils energy, attracts misfortune, provokes quarrels, prevents women from getting married and giving birth to healthy children.
Is it true that you can't plant a thuja near a house?
One bad omen associated with thuja actually has a scientific basis.
The fact is that one of the subspecies of this plant, namely the western thuja, contains a large amount of a toxin called thujone, which has strong abortive properties.
Pregnant women and nursing mothers should not stay near a cluster of western thujas for a long time.
Also, this subspecies of thuja can cause a strong allergic reaction, manifested by inflammation of the respiratory tract and skin irritation.
If you are planning to plant a western thuja in your garden, you should consult an allergist.
