An introduction to cedar & it's theraputic benefits!

 

Cedarwood or cedar wood essential oil is taken from a number of closely-related cedar trees, from theCedrus family.  The oil is taken from the actual wood of the tree, and it subsequently has a woodsy, spicy scent.

Cedarwood oil has been used for thousands of years, and the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all used it for various medical conditions. Cedarwood incense was common in ancient Egypt, and is still used in Tibetan Buddhist religious ceremonies to this day. The ancient Egyptians also used cedarwood oil extensively in the mummification process.

This wonderful essential oil has many, many healing properties, but it is most often used for its tranquilising effect. Cedar wood oil is also a valuable tool in skin care products.
