Add 6 drops of Cedar Essential Oil to the water reservoir of your diffuser or in your vaporizer and turn it on. The woody aroma calms your mind, improves your mood and creates a relaxed, warm atmosphere in your home.

As a massage oil

Mix 5 drops of Cedar Essential Oil, 3 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil and add to 50 ml of carrier oil (e.g. Argan Oil) and massage your skin and muscles after showering.

For hair and scalp

As an insect repellent
