Cedarwood essential oil is steam distilled from the wood, branches and sawdust of the cedar tree. Cedarwood has a strong base-middle note with warm, dry, herbal, woodsy, spicy aromas. Often used as a natural room deodorizer, its properties are well known as a moth and insect repellant. In topical applications, it is used to improve dry or oily hair, as well as skin and scalp conditions such as eczema, dandruff, dry scalp, dry skin or hair loss. It acts as a lymphatic system stimulant and revitalizes the respiratory system while releasing stress and tension. Use Cedarwood essential oil to promote a restful sleep at night or for its calming effect at any time of day.

On the recommendation of the International Federation of Aromatherapists, TruGardens does not endorse taking essential oils internally unless specifically directed and prescribed by a qualified healthcare practitioner who is also trained in clinical aromatherapy. Avoid using during pregnancy, or if you suspect you might be pregnant, except on the advice of a qualified practitioner. Store all essential oil products safely out of reach of children. Essential oils are potent, and a little bit goes a long way. Do not use essential oils undiluted directly on the skin as they can cause irritation. Keep away from children, and do not apply near the eyes, mucous membranes, sensitive or broken skin. Every individual reacts differently to essential oils: Always perform a ‘test patch’ properly diluted in carrier oil to determine sensitivity.
