Throughout history, various cultures, including Native American and Tibetan communities, have used Cedarwood Essential Oil to treat ailments ranging from minor discomforts, such as coughs and hiccups, to more serious illnesses. Cedarwood Oil’s antimicrobial and insecticidal properties made it valuable for use in mummification procedures in Ancient Egypt. Cedarwood was also known to relax the body and mind in these and other societies, making it ideal for use in religious ceremonies and spiritual practises such as communal prayer and independent meditation. It is still used for similar applications as well as cosmetic applications today.
