Relaxation and Stress Relief: Cedarwood oil is often used in aromatherapy for its calming and grounding effects. It can help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation when diffused or inhaled.

Sleep Aid: Due to its soothing properties, cedarwood oil may assist in promoting a restful night's sleep. Diffusing it in the bedroom or applying it topically before bedtime can help create a peaceful environment.

Skin Care: Cedarwood oil is beneficial for skin health. It may help alleviate minor skin irritations, acne, and oily skin conditions. When properly diluted in a carrier oil, it can be applied topically to improve skin appearance.

Respiratory Support: Inhaling cedarwood oil vapor or using it in steam inhalation can help ease respiratory issues such as coughs, congestion, and bronchitis.
