Breathe in the sweet-and-spicy perfume of this true cedar essential oil. Grown in Morocco and descendants of the cedars of Lebanon mentioned in the Bible, Atlantic cedarwood is a strong antibacterial that works to relieve itchy scalps and control oily skin.
Many know cedarwood as a natural insect repellant, but it does so much more. Cedarwood essential oil makes a great natural sedative, calming your mind and helping you relax so you sleep restfully. And like our other cedarwood oils, it is a natural decongestant and expectorant you can add to blends designed to fight colds and other respiratory issues. Because of its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, you might also find cedarwood helpful in reducing the pain of arthritis.
