Cedarwood essential oil is distilled from the fragrant heartwood, leaves and stems of red cedar, a North American species of juniper also known as savin, eastern red cedar and red juniper. While the wood of the tree is used in furniture making, the essential oil lends a woody, balsamic scent to aromatherapy and personal care products.

essential oil

The wood of the cedar tree has held a significant place in the ceremonial practices of various cultures dating back thousands of years. The Egyptians, for example, included cedar in their embalming formulas. Native Americans carried a piece of the wood to enhance their connection to the spirit world.

Cedarwood essential oil is one of the few essential oils that can be used "neat" (undiluted) on the skin in small amounts. It is also popular in aromatherapy applications, and is used in perfumery and soapmaking. The mild sedative qualities of the oil is owing to the presence of a high concentration of sesquiterpenes, such as cedrene.
