Cedrus atlantica
Cedarwood Essential Oil is steam distilled from the wood of the cedarwood tree. It possesses a warm, woody, slightly sweet aroma that is grounding and comforting. Just a drop or two of Cedarwood Essential Oil can add depth and a rich, earthy base note to any blend, making it a staple in both aromatherapy and natural perfumery.
Cedarwood Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser and inhaler blends intended to help ease respiratory congestion, coughs, and bronchial issues. It is valued for its astringent and antiseptic properties and is often used in diluted topical applications to support skin health, particularly for oily skin, acne, and scalp conditions. Cedarwood is also popular as a natural insect repellent.
Emotionally, Cedarwood Essential Oil is deeply grounding and calming, helping to ease anxiety, promote restful sleep, and provide strength and stability during times of stress or emotional upheaval.
