Oil Spotlight : Cedarwood

Cedarwood has a very high amount of sesquiterpenes. These compounds stimulate the limbic system of the brain, in turn elevating our mood and calming the body. That’s why we love Cedarwood for both focus and sleep! Here are some ways to use that FREE Cedarwood you’re getting in your ER order this month:

  • Put 4 drops of Cedarwood + 4 drops of Lavender + 4 drops of Northern Lights Black Spruce in your diffuser before bed. This is the DREAM combo.

  • Add a drop to your shampoo and massage into your scalp. Cedarwood is amazing for hair growth (hello postpartum mamas!). You can also put a drop in your palm and rub over dry hair to promote shine and tame static or fly-aways.

  • Cedarwood makes a great cologne when paired with spruce oils!

  • Apply to the base of the brain stem for promoting focus and make a special roller for homework time.

  • Combine with Lavender Lotion for nighttime leg troubles.

How do you use Cedarwood?
