Sample content: Cedarwood
Note: Cedarwood should not be used during pregnancy. Cedarwood essential
oil is said to have a calming, grounding effect on the nervous system,
and on a spiritual level it brings people together. It has a pleasant
woody, smoky aroma that blends well with bergamot, frankincense,
jasmine, lavender, neroli and rose. Users often find that cedarwood
instills a sense of peace, and it is favored by those who meditate.
Cedarwood stimulates the lymphatic system, which makes it excellent for
respiratory conditions such as catarrh, asthma or bronchitis.
