Family: Cupressaceae
Description & Extraction:
Cedar wood essential oil is extracted from Juniperus virginiana of the
Cupressaceae family. It is also known as Virginian, red, eastern red or
southern red cedar, as well as Bedford cedar wood. This clean smelling,
balsamic oil does not only help calm and balance energy, but also promotes
spirituality, while helping to clear the respiratory system of excess phlegm
and catarrh. It sorts out urinary tract infections, as well as bladder and
kidney disorders, while improving oily skin and clearing up dandruff. Wood
chips and sawdust are subjected to steam distillation to extract the oil and
the yield is about 35 %. It blends well with benzoin, bergamot, cinnamon,
cypress, frankincense, jasmine, juniper, lavender, lemon, neroli, rose and
rosemary.
Chemical Components:
The main chemical components of cedar wood oil are a-cedrene, b-cedrene,
thujopsene, other sesquiterpenes, cedrol and widdrol.
Toxicological Properties:
Cedar wood oil are antiseborrhoeic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, tonic,
astringent, diuretic, emmenagogue, expectorant, insecticide, sedative and
fungicide.
Uses & Precaution:
- Cedar wood oil benefits the skin by its sedating ability which
relieves itching. Its astringent action is great for acne, oily skin, as
well as for hair and dandruff. It helps with chest and urinary
infections, acts as a general tonic and has a pronounced effect on mucus
membranes.
- It has a calming and soothing effect on the mind and is of great help
in conditions associated with anxiety and nervous tension. It is also of
value in cases of arthritis and rheumatism.

should be avoided in pregnancy.
