DescriptionThis Cedarwood is steam distilled from the wood of the Atlas cedar tree. This produces a thick, yellowish oil. It is grown mostly in North America. Cedar has been used by nearly every ancient civilization in medicine, perfumery and cosmetics. The Egyptians were well known for using it in their embalming practices. When the wood was used to create storage chests, it was discovered that its scent repels insects! Cedarwood's active constituents include cedrol, cadinene and other sesquiterpenes and many terpenic hydrocarbons. It is a very powerful antiseptic, fungicidal and antiseborrheic (helps with dandruff, hair loss and oily hair). When used for bronchial infections it also helps to break down mucus (expectorant). In a bath or douche it can help in the treatment of cystitis and vaginal infections and discharges (always remember to see a doctor for the cause of these infections). As a mild astringent, cedarwood essential oil is great for treating acne. This oil may also help to eliminate lactic acid and help to move toxins from joints, as well as help with cellulite. It is a very popular addition to men's toiletries. On a mental level, this oil may help with focus and concentration as well as help counteract worry, fear and mental strain. Specific CautionsDo not use with high blood pressure or heart problems. May irritate sensitive skin. Avoid with sever allergies. Avoid during pregnancy.
