Cedarwood Essential Oil

Cedarwood Essential Oil is steam distilled from the wood of the Cedar tree, of which there are several species. If your body is producing excess mucus due to a sinus infection, Cedarwood essential oil can help as its cool aroma serves to loosen mucus so that the respiratory system can function like it should. It offers potent anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antiviral properties that have been used for centuries to treat congestion and other respiratory problems. Used in aromatherapy applications, Cedarwood Essential Oil helps to relax the body, enhance concentration, decrease hyperactivity, reduce harmful stress, ease tension, clear the mind, and encourage the onset of quality sleep. Used as massage oil, Cedarwood Essential Oil can help soothe irritation, inflammation, redness, and itchiness, as well as dryness that lead to cracking, peeling, or blistering. It helps regulate acne-causing bacteria, and reduces the appearance of the signs of aging.

Mary Li at Oriental Massage uses a couple of drops of Cedarwood essential oil diluted in carrier oil massaged onto the chest and throat to help customers breathe better so that they can rest. Mary Li also uses Cedarwood Oil in Oriental head massage to cleanse and enhance circulation to the scalp, tighten the follicles, stimulate healthy growth, reduce thinning, and slow hair loss.

Cedarwood Essential Oil is used in the Insomnia & Stress and Hair Growth oil blend treatment at Oriental Massage Galway (OMG).
