    Warm, nutty and a little sweet, Cedarwood captures the feeling of a slow walk through an old forest. It is steam distilled from the wood of Juniperus virginiana, a tree that thrives in cold, high-altitude climates and grows up to 30 metres tall.

    True to its size and strength, the aroma is deeply grounding, which makes it a favourite for winding down at the end of a long day. Applied topically, Cedarwood has clarifying properties for the skin, and it has long been a staple in massage therapy for helping the body relax.

    Aroma: Nutty, woody, sweet.

    What the research says: In a study of 26 healthy adults, Dayawansa et al. (2003) found that inhaling cedrol, the main constituent of Cedarwood oil, significantly lowered heart rate and blood pressure compared with plain air, a pattern consistent with a relaxed nervous system. Read the study.
