Historical Snippets
Possibly one of the first essential oils to be extracted from a plant, Cedarwood oil had many uses. It was used as a base for paints by ancient Sumerians, while it was used to mummify bodies by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks as they believed it helped make one immortal. Cedarwood treated a number of varying maladies from urinary tract infections to bronchial infections. It was even used as an insect repellent. The Native Americans would burn the plant to be used in their rituals which they believed the smoke would carry their prayers to the Great Spirit.
How To Use
Diffuse: Add a few drops to a diffuser to disperse around the room
Topically: Dilute essential oil with any carrier oil at a 2.5% ratio. This equates to 2.5ml essential oil/oils in total mixed with 100ml of chosen carrier oil. 1ml of essential oil is approximately 20-22 drops of oil. Decant into a roller or glass bottle with eye dropper to apply easily or a larger bottle if using for massage. Please note this dilution rate is for adults and children over the age of 6. More information on children and essential oils is on our blog page. Essential Oils should not be used directly on the skin without mixing first with a carrier oil
Inhalation: Add 1-2 drops essential oil to a tissue and inhale at a distance while ensuring that the oil does not come into direct contact with the skin. Alternatively, you can smell the oil directly from the bottle.
Shelf Life
Our freshly decanted Cedarwood essential oil will last for 3-4 years minimum from when you open your amber glass bottle if stored correctly.
Primary Storage Considerations: Keep away from direct light (U.V. radiation). Keep in the amber glass bottle with lid tightly closed. Only open when you need to and decant into a smaller "working" amber glass bottle if possible (and label so you know what is in it). This is to reduce oxidation.
Secondary Storage Considerations: Keep in a refrigerator at around 4 degrees celsius.
