What Makes Cedarwood Essential Oil So Effective?
The secret behind Cedarwoodβs soothing power lies in its rich content of cedrol and other sesquiterpenesβnatural compounds shown to exert grounding, calming effects on the nervous system (Kagawa et al., 2003). These elements help reduce tension, support deeper sleep, and restore emotional equilibrium.
Beyond its emotional benefits, Cedarwood also offers antimicrobial and deodorising properties. It naturally freshens indoor air, supports scalp balance, and encourages healthy skin.
Historically, Cedarwood oil was revered in ancient Egypt for embalming and purification, valued for its ability to preserve and protect. Today, its role endures β as a sanctuary scent that promotes both emotional stillness and environmental freshness.
