Cedarwood Atlas Oil 10ml

Cedarwood Atlas Oil comes from Morocco and is distilled from sawdust or chopped waste wood.

The name Cedrus originates from the Arabic word Kedron which means 'Power.'

In terms of how the oil helps us physically, it is antirheumatic, calmative, antiparasitic, anticatarrhal, a lymphatic decongestant, antiseptic, and an astringent.

Also, it is non toxic and non irritant in prescribed doses.

In addition, we associate Cedarwood with the Base or Root Chakra and the Chinese Element Water.

The Cedarwood is a large evergreen conifer that grows to a height of up to 50 meters. It has needle like leaves and brown cones.

Moreover, cedarwood's anti-septic, deodorising and insect-repellent properties make it a very useful oil for burning or diffusing.

Try blending with any of the citrus oils.
