A while back, I bought a collection of essential oils and cedarwood was one of the bottles. I've never really known what to do with it - mystery solved!

Oh, you are very much welcome Sandy..=) Glad to know that you have great passion for essential oils like me..=) have a great day ahead..=)

The method that you use to attain the benefits of cedarwood all depends on what purpose you're using it for. For example, if you want to clear up congestion or prevent anxiety, inhalation is the method you need to use. To properly inhale cedarwood oil, you can either use a vaporizer or put a few drops in steaming water, while staying near the pan to breathe in its properties.
