There are several oils that go under the name of cedarwood but the most common one used in aromatherapy is Atlas Cedarwood (Cedarus atlantica) oil. Cedarwood was the first known oil to have been extracted. It provided one of the world’s earliest perfumes and was used by the Ancient Egyptians for mummification.Cedarwood is pulped before steam distillation to gain access to the secretory canals of the wood, which holds the aromatic essence. It has a sweet, woody, fruity perfume, much more piercing than sandalwood.
Cedarwood is an anti-fungal, antiseptic, circulatory stimulant, tonic, astringent, diuretic, expectorant and sedative oil. It is well known as a good skin and hair tonic, plus it is a decongestant and alleviates rheumatic pain. Cedarwood is grounding, clears away negativity and brings increased positive energy. It is often used in combination with other oils to prevent hair loss.
It has bug repellent properties. Can be used to repel aphids. slugs, snails and weevils. It can also be used in a vacuum cleaner bag for adding a clean fragrance to a room while vacuuming.
Note: Do not use when pregnant or with high blood pressure. Always use well diluted.

I love the smell of cedar. I don't know if these are still around but my mom has a cedar chest, they were called hope chests - smells wonderful.
I don't remember if I've used a cedar essential oil, but I will check into it.
I've always loved trees Jackie and love the smell of cedar. I wasn't sure of the medicinal properties of this particular oil though. Many thanks for sharing that Jackie.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
