Cedarwood Essential Oil 10 ml

Some trees live for thousands of years. And they have something to say.

Cedar is no ordinary tree. In biblical tradition, cedarwood was the only material worthy of building Solomon's Temple. The Egyptians used cedar oil for embalming and solar rituals — they believed it connected the world of the living with eternity. In Ayurveda, it is known as Devadaru — “Tree of the Gods” — and used for anxiety and skin problems, and as an oil to strengthen body and spirit. In Indigenous North American traditions, cedar was a tree of protection and purification. For thousands of years, in almost every culture — the same reverence for the same plant.

Its main active compounds — himachalenes, sesquiterpenes characteristic of the genus Cedrus — have a confirmed sedative effect on the nervous system. A clinical study in cardiac patients showed improved sleep quality after regular inhalation of cedarwood oil on five consecutive nights. Cedrol, another key compound, reduces the activity of the sympathetic nervous system — physiologically, it switches off alert mode. That is why cedar has accompanied meditation and prayer for centuries.

In Ayurveda, it balances Vata and Kapha — it grounds emotional unsteadiness and breaks through stagnation at the same time. One of the most versatile oils in the line: for sleep, for meditation, for the scalp and for the home.

Scent profile

Ayurvedic context — Dosha

Carrier oil for Vata: sesame or almond. For Kapha: almond or light grape seed oil.

Diffuser / sleep and meditation
3–5 drops in water. A classic blend for sleep: cedarwood + lavender (3+2 drops). For meditation and focus: cedarwood + frankincense (3+2 drops). For cleansing your space: cedarwood + eucalyptus (3+2 drops).

Scalp and hair
4–5 drops per 20 ml of carrier oil (sesame or jojoba). Massage into your scalp with your fingertips for 3–5 minutes and leave on for 30 minutes before washing. Cedarwood has antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties — effective for dandruff, itching and hair loss associated with scalp inflammation.

Massage / grounding
8–10 drops per 25 ml of carrier oil (sesame for Vata, almond for Kapha). A foot and lower-back massage with cedarwood is one of the Ayurvedic grounding rituals for chronic stress and emotional imbalance.

Bath
Mix 5–6 drops with a tablespoon of carrier oil and pour into warm water. Soak for 10–15 minutes. A cedarwood bath before bed — the forest atmosphere and the sedative effect of himachalenes together prepare body and mind for deep rest.

Wardrobe and home
Put 2–3 drops on a cotton pad and place it in a drawer or wardrobe. Cedarwood naturally repels moths and freshens fabrics — a tradition dating back thousands of years, well before synthetic insect repellents were invented.
