Cedarwood

Description

Cedarwood essential oil is steam distilled from the wood of the cedar tree. Aromatically, Cedarwood has a warm, woody, earthy, sweet scent.
"Known for its rich hue and warm, woody scent, Cedarwood essential oil provides a myriad of benefits. It is native to cold climates, thriving in high altitudes and growing up to 100 feet. Reminiscent of its size and strength, Cedarwood has a grounding aroma that evokes feelings of wellness and vitality. When applied topically, Cedarwood has clarifying properties. Additionally, Cedarwood is frequently used in massage therapy to relax and soothe the mind and body."
