Why should you use Cedarwood oil

Essential oils such as Cedarwood oil are plant extracts that are potentially beneficial for humans and can help manage stress, relax and help a person feel more positive. The use of these essential oils for therapeutic purposes is called aromatherapy. The term aromatherapy was coined in 1935 by a French chemist. However, art, as well as science, is nearly as old as the history of our civilization itself. 

Cedarwood oil is extracted from the bark of the cedarwood tree and its history and use are perhaps as old as the Bible itself.

For the Native Americans, it was a part of their spiritual ceremonies. It was a means of spiritual communication and was believed to quell anger and promote feelings of positivity. Buddhist monks believed that Cedarwood's scent brought a sense of calmness, positivity, and mental clarity it brings.
