Cedarwood is a type of tree that can live more than 300 years and grow up to 120 feet tall. The oil is extracted from the stream and distillate by the wood pieces of the cedar wood tree. It is antifungal (prevents fungal growth), antiseptic (prevents the growth of disease), diuretic (cleans out toxins by means of peeing), astringent (contraction of skin) and sedative (provides calmness/peace).



Cedar trees have also been mentioned in the Bible numerous of times. Some oils you can consume, however, this one is not one of those oils.

When you use the oil the correct way, you receive fantastic health benefits.
