Advantages: Good insect repellent

Disadvantages: Can be no good for sensitve skins

Smells sort of woody/spicy, lovely.

Cedarwood was used by Egyptians for mummifying.

I use it if I ever get a bout of cystitis, a few drops in the bath is helpful.

I have also used it for a bad cough, mixed with afew drops of Eucalyptus and used as an inhalation.
You can feel a soothing sensation.

It can be used diluted in massage oil, a few drops in bath water or as an inhalation.

Mixed with a drop of Rosemary and diluted in Vegtable oil, it is good for dandruff.

Cedarwood can be an irritant on sensitive skins, so do a small skin patch test before use.
Also it should NOT be used during pregnancy.

Iy is also a good insect repellant, I use it in a burner when I have loads of flies in the kitchen..it works, in that the flies won`t go near it...but it doesn`t actually clear them from the kitchen altogether.

Before using it though I recommend, looking it up in a book & finding all the do & don`ts first...as with all Essential oils.
