Today's fresh take is Cedarwood. Though perhaps not an oil favorite, Cedarwood is certainly an oil that deserves our full attention. By now you all likely know that applying Cedarwood over your thyroid after showering & getting out of the pool is a fantastic practice to add to your health regime. Why? Because it will prevent the chlorine from attaching itself to the thyroid gland, causing vital iodine to become blocked. Iodine is essential when it comes to proper thyroid function so low levels can result in hypothyroidism. But did you also know Cedarwood removes the negative emotions that block us from learning new things. Kids starting a new subject in school? Cedarwood. Are you embarking in a new career? Cedarwood. Learning a new language (we all ought to be well verse in several, working on that now with myself and kids)? Cedarwood!
Some of the most common ways to use and benefit from Cedarwood essential oil include:
improve skin conditions like eczema

One of the most astounding uses for Cedarwood, particularly these days with side effects and all is the use for your hair. Cedarwood essential oil stimulate the hair follicles and increase circulation to the scalp. This contributes to hair growth and may slow hair loss. Herbalists and aromatherapists often recommend cedarwood essential oil for hair loss, thinning hair and various types of alopecia.
What are the best oils to mix for hair growth? There’s evidence that applying cedarwood oil, in combination with the essential oils from thyme, rosemary and lavender, to the scalp improves hair growth in up to 44 percent of people with hair loss after seven months of treatment. You can add Cedarwood oil to your shampoo or conditioner, or just massage the oil into your scalp with a carrier oil like coconut oil and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing.
As you can see, the benefits of Cedarwood are impressive and likely you'll agree this ought to be in every medicine cabinet.
