Cedarwood Atlas (Botanical Name: Cedrus Atlantica) is an excellent oil for treating anxiety. It has a warming, balancing and comforting effect making it good for exhaustion, nervous tension, anger and other stress-related conditions. It's sedative effects are similar to those of Sandalwood and it's deep woody scent helps improve and deepen breathing which makes it useful for meditation too. When combined with Eucalyptus, Rosemary or a camphorous lavender like Spike Lavender it makes an excellent oil for treating upper respiratory ailments. It's also a great hair and skin care oil that can be used to address chronic skin conditions as well as scalp problems (dandruff, alopecia, seborrhea). Blends well with a wide variety of oils. It is a little viscous so should not be used alone in a diffuser. Should be avoided during pregnancy. Country of Origin: Morocco.
