Collection: Cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana)

Sylvan. Balsamic. Sweet.

History:

Cedarwood oil is possibly the first essential oil to be extracted from a plant. This isnโ€™t surprising, as King Solomon himself chose it, precisely for its strength, to build his Temple in Jerusalem, and the ancient Egyptians applied the oil during the mummification process.

Source:

East Africa used to be an important source of Cedarwood oil, but the wild resource is now nearly extinct in that region of the world due to over-harvesting. Today, we source a species of Cedarwood from right here in America, Texas and Virginia to be exact. The oils are created by distilling the wood chips and sawdust from these trees, producing a masculine oil, strong and stable, which is often used to anchor a blend.

Proven Benefits:

Medicinally, Cedarwood oil is known for its anti-infectious, astringent and tonifying therapeutic properties, and has been used as a tonic for the kidneys and central nervous system. Cedarwood oil increases strength and endurance, soothes the mind, and promotes confidence and perseverance.
