Benefits of cedarwood oil

 
 

Dear community, 

Cedarwood essential oil is deeply grounding, stimulates the pineal gland, which releases melatonin, combats hair loss, soothing for the skin, is antibacterial, and is a lymphatic stimulant. Dr. Terry Friedman found in clinical tests that this oil may treat ADD and ADHD in children.  

How to use: 

  • Diffuse it to ground and calm 

  • Apply neat on pads of big toes before bed to release melatonin 

  • Apply to skin neat for small areas and with a carrier oil for larger areas (to treat acne and eczema) 

  • Add to YL Mirah hair oil or olive oil and massage into the roots of hair and comb through for a leave-in hair mask and wash out the next day.  

Fun facts:  

  • Throughout antiquity, cedarwood has been used in medicines. 

  • The Egyptians used it for embalming the dead 

  • It was used both as traditional medicine and incense in Tibet
