About
Himalayan Cedarwood is grown exclusively in the Himalayas where the bark and twigs are steam distilled to produce an exceptional cedarwood essential oil.
Cedarwood has a long history of use throughout the world. The Egyptians would infuse the oil in the deceased in addition to using it for perfumes and incense. The Tibetans diffuse the oil throughout temples as it is considered centering and relaxing.
Himalayan Cedarwood is sought after not only for its aromatic qualities but also for the therapeutic benefits it harnesses. It is considered an astringent which helps to tighten the skin and improve complexion. It is also thought to stimulate the immune system and purify the air. Its scent promotes tranquility and combats negative thoughts. Cedarwood oil is also considered an effective insect repellent.
