Emotionally, Cedarwood’s high levels of sesquiterpenes lead it to stimulate the limbic system of the brain, which elevates mood and helps reduce stress level. It’s for this reason that Cedarwood is well known as a calming and relaxing oil that can achieve a peaceful night’s sleep and combat depression. In addition, Cedarwood contains the constituent cedrol, which promotes relaxation, and balance. It has a warm cedar aroma and is soothing when used in massage.
Known mainly for its strengthening and fortifying properties, Cedarwood Atlas Essential Oil can be a help if you’re feeling generally lethargic, anxious and lacking in concentration. Its intense woody, earthy aroma can help sustain and ground you in times of sudden change or crisis, bolstering your confidence and resolve.
