Aromatherapy with Cedarwood Atlas essential oil

This is a true cedar from the family Pinace


,
This essential oil is also known as Atlantic cedar and Moroccan cedarwood. This oil is quite different from Virginian cedarwood. Its sweet, woody aroma with a camphoraceous note improves as the oil ages.

Cedarwood Atlas is calming and soothing with sedative effects similar to Sandalwood.

This oil is considered neurotoxic and abortive and should not be used on children and pregnant women.

Blends well with bergamot, clary sage, frankincense, oakmoss and rosemary.
