Antifungal

Cedarwood oil carries powerful antifungal agents and can protect the body against bacteria. 
Whether you are suffering from athlete's foot or a more serious fungal infection, Cedarwood oil can be applied topically to treat unwanted overgrowths of fungi.
Mixing Cedarwood with a carrier oil (like coconut oil) is always a good option to garner the best results.

Antiseptic

From open wounds to acne, Cedarwood oil is rich in wound-healing properties and is effective in treating infections and cleaning abrasions. 
Adding a few drops to your skin products like cleansers and moisturizers can offer a natural addition to the healing process. 
As more of a household antiseptic, Cedarwood oil can be used as a daily handwash and a natural way to ensure germs have been removed from the home. 

Anti-inflammatory

Muscular discomfort and other joint problems such as arthritis can also benefit from Cedarwood skin benefits. 
Due to Cedarwood being a natural vasodilator, this oil is also a reliable go-to home remedy for headaches that carry heavy inflammation.
Simply massage into the area of inflammation with a carrier oil and allow the natural goodness of this oil to alleviate the discomfort. 

Supporting the healing of eczema 

Known as one of the most common Cedarwood skin benefits, this beautiful oil can be effective in healing eczema due to its anti-inflammatory properties.  
Add a few drops to natural soap and skin care products. 

Helping to improve a dry, flaky scalp

We all know that suffering from a sore, flaky scalp can be frustrating and uncomfortable, and Cedarwood oil is a true savior during these times. 
The oil can either be massaged into the scalp with a carrier oil, or alternatively added to natural shampoos and scalp care products. 

Relieving a stubborn, uncomfortable chesty cough 

Having a natural way to relieve stubborn cold symptoms and break up mucus is a breath of fresh air with so many chemical-based products available these days. 
The best way of relieving these symptoms at home is to add a few drops to a natural chest rub and apply it directly to the chest area with a firm massage.

A way of feeling calm and centered before bedtime

Due to its sedative properties and calming aroma, Cedarwood oil is a great choice for you if you’re looking for a way to relax naturally before bedtime. 
If you’re someone who often indulges in a hot bath before bedtime, add a few drops to honey, and to your bath water and let the comforting scent of Cedarwood oil sink into your pores, restore the body and set you up for a deep and restful sleep. Explore more relaxing bath ideas here
