Aromatic, woodsy-smelling Cedarwood oil (Juniperus virginiana) is probably most often associated with pencil shavings and gerbil cages. However the oil of cedarwood (the US plant) is traditionally used as a general tonic, sensual stimulant, inhalant ingredient, and insect repellant. Cedarwood oil can also be helpful for troubled skin and hair. Recommended by Cayce in massage, its applications include bath oil, facial wash, inhalant ingredient and closet scent. Avoid during pregnancy.
