Scientifically known as “Cedrus Atlantica”, Cedarwood essential oil is known for its mind-stimulating properties. It is steam distilled from the wood of the Cedar tree which is more commonly recognized as Atlas Cedarwood.
In Ancient Egypt, cedarwood oil’s antimicrobial and insecticidal properties made it an important element in the mummifying procedures. It has been used by various cultures, such as Native American and Tibetan communities to help ease the discomforts of coughs and hiccups.
Cedarwood was also known to relax the body and mind, making it ideal for use in religious ceremonies and spiritual practices
