Cedar is a native plant of cold climates, usually found at high altitudes. Cedarwood essential oil has antiseptic, antispasmodic, tonic, astringent, diuretic, expectorant, insecticidal, sedative and antifungal effects.
Cedarwood essential oil relieves the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis. This disease is caused by a dysfunction of the sebaceous glands. This results in excessive production of sebum and subsequent infection of epidermal cells. It has very unpleasant symptoms, with white or pale yellow skin peeling off, especially from the scalp, eyebrows, inner ear and anywhere else where hair follicles are present. Cedarwood oil can be useful in treating this inflammatory condition, reducing skin peeling, regulating sebum production and treating infection. The oil also reduces uncomfortable redness.
Cedarwood oil prevents wounds from becoming inflamed and protects them from tetanus bacteria. It supports the body's fight against toxins, improves white blood cell production and immune function. Cedarwood oil can be used as a general health tonic as it tones the body and stimulates metabolism. It boosts kidney and liver function, which further improves overall health.
Professional Essential Oils are available in special packaging, mainly for aromatherapists, or for users who use them in larger quantities.
