Cedarwood

(Cedrus atlantica)
Rich, woody, warm, masculine, grounding

An aromatherapy steam with cedar essential oil treats respiratory infections and clears sinus and lung congestion.  The essential oil is also an astringent that dries oily or blemished skin when used in a facial wash or spritzer. Added to a salve or hair conditioner, it relieves eczema, psoriasis, skin inflammation, and dandruff, especially when these conditions are related to excessively oily skin.  Cedarwood is also good for dry hair because it increases the ability of your skin and scalp to hold in water. You can also put it on itchy bug bites.  It is reported to slow hair loss.

DESCRIPTION:
The majestic cedar tree grows to 100 feet tall and lives more than 1,000.  It was the lumber used to build ancient temples, such as that of King Solomon, because the fragrance of its wood was believed to lead worshipers closer to God.  It also resists insect damage.  The modern source of most "Cedarwood" essential oil is really juniper (Juniperus virginiana), a coniferous evergreen known as "red Cedar".
