What is one of the top essential oil requests from my family members? It would have to be cedarwood essential oil. That is why I thought about putting together useful things to know about the essential oils article to spotlight cedarwood. When I tell someone about the oil they always like to ask me what is the oil. What are the benefits of the oil? Why should they use it? And so many more questions!
Which is completely natural to ask so I thought why not put together a simple article that tells you everything you need to know about cedarwood without sounding like a boring old English professor? So, let’s get started!
What is Cedarwood?
Cedarwood is a type of tree that can live more than 300 years and grow up to 120 feet tall. The oil is extracted from the stream and distillate by the wood pieces of the cedar wood tree. It is antifungal (prevents fungal growth), antiseptic (prevents the growth of disease), diuretic (cleans out toxins by means of peeing), astringent (contraction of skin) and sedative (provides calmness/peace).
Cedar trees have also been mentioned in the Bible numerous of times. Some oils you can consume, however, this one is not one of those oils. This is a strong oil, if consumed it will damage your digestive system. This oil is also not recommended for pregnant women. When you use the oil the correct way, you receive fantastic health benefits.
