HISTORY OF CEDARWOOD 

Atlas cedar is part of the pine family and is native to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. It can reach up to 40 meters in height, with a trunk diameter of around 2 meters. And what is more impressive about this majestic tree, is that cedars can live up to one thousand years. They can endure even the harshest and most brutal elements and that is why they have become a true symbol of wisdom, strength and stability.

In antiquity, in the Middle East especially, cedars were used to build shelters and temples, because of their remarkably durable bark. The essential oil extracted from the woods was used to make cough medicines and antiseptic ointments. Furthermore, there are also claims suggesting that Egyptians also used the essential oil in embalming rituals.

During the Middle Ages, cedar wood became very popular among carpenters, as it was used in clothes chests as a moth repellent. Nowadays, cedar oils are becoming more and more popular among aromatherapists. Deservedly, cedar oils are more than meets the eye.

 

WHAT IS CEDARWOOD OIL GOOD FOR?

Cedarwood essential oil is comforting, calming and reassuring. The oil is extracted through the process of steam distillation from the wood/bark of the cedar tree. Cedarwood oil can improve the look of your skin and is especially potent in reducing the appearance of cellulite. It is also good for your memory and alertness.

 

MEDICINAL USES OF CEDARWOOD OIL 

One study found that cedarwood essential oil is a very good alternative to other antibacterial agents and can be effective in controlling both bacteria and yeasts.

Another study found that cedarwood oil fragrance can positively affect behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia in Alzheimer's.

In this study by Terry S. Friedmann, the team behind the ADHD trial concludes that cedarwood oil can be very beneficial as adjuvant therapy for ADHD. Because cedarwood oil has a high concentration of sesquiterpenes, making up 50% of its constituents, it can improve the oxygenation of the brain.

Last but not least, a randomized trial featuring 86 patients in 2 groups concludes that using a mixture of thyme, rosemary, lavender and cedarwood proved to be effective in treating alopecia areata. The participants had to massage their scalps with the essential oils and track records in 3 and 7-month intervals.

One way to take advantage of cedarwood oil benefits for your hair is to directly add a few drops (4-5) to your shampoo. Another way to incorporate this miraculous essential oil is to dilute 5 drops of it into almond or coconut oil (20ml) and rub it on your scalp. Leave for 20 minutes, then rinse well.

Inhaling cedarwood oil may improve focus and ease symptoms of ADHD. For children with ADHD, an important study by Dr. Terry Friedmann proved that inhaling a blend that included cedarwood oil for 30 days showed significant improvements.

Great bug repellent

β-himachalene, which is the main constituent in cedarwood oil, was found to exhibit insecticidal qualities. You can apply cedarwood oil topically (diluted in carrier oil) to drive away mosquitoes, flies and other bugs. It can also be sprayed on beds or clothes.
