There are many types of cedarwood & it is important to be clear which one is which. Virginian Cedarwood comes from the cypress family & the oil has an odour of freshly sawn wood. It is usually distilled from sawdust from the lumbermills of the USA & is used extensively in perfumery & soap manufacture. Mixed with Sri Lankan Ctironella it was once a popular mosquito repellent but has since been largely replaced by chemicals. Absolute Aromas Virginian Cedarwood is Virginian Light (light refers to the method of distillation). One of the more masculine of essential oils Cedarwood is popularly used in toiletries for men. Cedarwood’s anti-septic deodorising & insect-repellent properties make it a very useful oil for burning or diffusing. Try blending with any of the citrus oils. To help improve the condition of the scalp & encourage healthy hair add 3 drops each of Cedarwood & Rosemary to 10ml of Coconut oil (or 5ml Coconut & 5ml Wheatgerm for very dry hair) & massage thoroughly into the scalp.

The reference to German reflects the fact that this essential oil used to be distilled mostly in Germany. When fresh this oil is deep blue fairly viscous & has an intense sweetness that some people find unpleasant. It is extensively used in pharmaceutical products for its healing properties. As with Roman Chamomile the high price reflects the low yield & labour-intensive processes involved in producing this oil. German Chamomile is particularly effective when used with a compress either hot or cold. If you are suffering from a buzzing head after a stressful day try adding 2 drops of German Chamomile & 1 drop of Lavender to a bowl of ice cold water. Dip a folded face flannel into the water wring it out & place it across your forehead lie back & relax. Alternatively try using in a hot compress to ease general aches & pains. German Chamomile is also an excellent addition to skincare products for dry or sensitive skin. Try 1 drop of German Chamomile & 3 drops of Mandarin in 10ml of Avocado oil as an alternative moisturiser. Do not use German Chamomile at all during early pregnancy & only on specialist advice thereafter. ...
