Cedarwood
can have a positive effect on skin conditions such as psoriasis, dandruff, acne and eczema. Inhaling a few drops in hot water
can ease bronchitis, congestion and catarrh. The oil's subtle properties can help us to cut through lack of clarity in our
minds. It can increase sexual response, so for massage may best be used by lovers. Cedarwood has been used in incense for
centuries in many cultures and is still used as a meditation aid by Tibetan Buddhists.
The
syrupy oil is steam-distilled from lumber waste. Must be highly diluted before use. Avoid during pregnancy.
