Known for its fresh, woodsy aroma, Virginiana cedarwood is more than just a calming fragrance. A powerful curative, this essential oil is known for its helpful antiseptic, anti-bacterial and astringent properties, perfect for fighting infections and healing skin lesions. Likewise, it’s a supportive diuretic for UTIs and kidney problems and a natural decongestant and expectorant.
Distilled from the Juniper family, Virginiana cedarwood is often used to help with respiratory issues, particularly when blended with a chest cream. Emotionally, this oil is celebrated for its stress-relieving and confidence-boosting ability, especially when diffused into the air or inhaled. Additionally, thanks to its antiseptic and diuretic properties, this oil makes great infection fighter for UTI and kidney issues. Finally, Virginiana cedarwood can also be blended with a carrier oil or lotion as a healing support for skin issues like eczema, psoriasis and acne; it is noted for reducing the appearance of rough and red skin thanks to its astringent ability. As a healer, Virginiana cedarwood’s anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties make it a useful oil for superficial lesions.
