Cedarwood Oil | Cedrus deodara
Extracted from Himalayan Cedar trees, Cedarwood Oil has a sweeter, richer aroma that distinctly sets it apart from Atlas Cedarwood. For centuries, people have valued it for its soothing fragrance and use in meditation and spiritual practices. Dating back to ancient Egypt, this prized oil was also used in embalming, perfumery, and cosmetics, showcasing its lasting cultural and aromatic importance.
The Himalayan Cedarwood tree, a towering evergreen up to 50 meters tall, thrives along the rugged slopes of the Himalayas in northern India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Also known as Tibetan Cedarwood, it was widely used by ancient civilizations like the Egyptians for embalming, cosmetics, and perfumery.
Extraction Process:
The process of extracting Himalayan Cedarwood Essential Oil is a meticulous one, ensuring that the oil retains its purity and therapeutic potency. It involves steam distillation of the wood, specifically from the heartwood of the cedar tree.
Because the heartwood holds a rich concentration of aromatic compounds, it naturally imparts the oil with a distinctive woody, sweet, and slightly balsamic scent. During distillation, steam passes through the wood and extracts the essential oil molecules.
Why Cedarwood Essential Oil Stands Out
Cedarwood Oil stands out in the world of essential oils for several compelling reasons:
Aroma: The exquisite, woodsy scent of Himalayan Cedrus deodara Oil is unlike any other. It adds a touch of luxury to aromatherapy sessions and personal care products.
Versatility: Whether you're seeking relaxation, skincare, or a natural insect repellent, Himalayan Cedarwood Oil offers a versatile solution.
Cedarwood oil boasts a wealth of antioxidants and possesses potent anti-inflammatory attributes. Additionally, it strengthens the immune system and relieves symptoms associated with colds and flu.
