I use cedar wood in my diffuser with a few drops of Jade Lemon. Also, I put a few drops in my palm and rub in into my dogs coat as it makes him smell yummy.
I use cedar wood as a perfume! Love the smell 😊
I use cedarwood practically every day...6-8 drops, along with bergamot, frankincense or eucalyptus in my bath water...diffuse with a couple drops of lavender or patchouli at bedtime. I love its clean woody scent...not overpowering at all!
I'm definitely going to try the diffuser recipe in the info graphic tonight! Thanks for the tip!
I am curious how it is harvested?
Hi Stacy, Cedarwood essential oil is distilled from the bark! Thanks for stopping by with your question!
I use it for sleep every night along with bergamont and citrus fresh and sometimes perppermint in my diffuser. I sleep like a baby. 😊
I use a mix of cedarwood, vetiver and lavender as a "boogyman" spray for my children. It helps them to fall asleep quickly and sleep soundly brought the night. Cedarwood is a necessity in our home ❤
I use Cedarwood every other day, 2 drops, into my shampoo to help with irritating dry flakes in 2 specific areas of my scalp. I have been using this regime for over 3 weeks with no results. Help!
Also, I use Cedarwood with coconut oil on my underarms for a fresh scent without needing deodorant on a light activity day. It smells amazing and lasts!
I would try a little tea tree oil for the scalp or put in your shampoo.
I find that using cedarwood along with lavender or geranium or all three after washing my hair with YL Lavender shampoo helps with the appearance of healthy-looking hair. Typically 2-4 drops of each directly to scalp after showering and rubbing in.
This info grapic states it moisturizes hair not scalp. I'd be interested in knowing about something gor the scalp too.
I put 50 drops of Cedarwood and 50 drops of Idaho Balsam Fir in a bottle with a roller. Wow...it sure supports mental acuity and overall calmness for me! I put it on my temples, top of head and across my forehead.
Tristan, first of all, I don't know which shampoo you are using. The problem could be right there. Secondly, our hair is part of whole us. You need to address your whole self to get results anywhere in you.
I prefer using Copaiba shampoo and conditioner.
I just diffused 3 drops of cedarwood, 2 drops of palo santo and one drop of clove and the aroma is invigorating and inspiring!
Can't help but wonder if I am allergic to Mountain Cedar, is this an oil I should avoid?
You should consider doing a patch test to see if you have a counter reaction
Hi Sandra, We suggest consulting with your healthcare provider to determine if Cedarwood would be a good option for you. Thanks for stopping by with your question!
Just tried your Diffuser recipe above... wow! Smells like baby powder! 😁
