Uses
Uses cedarwood essential oil
Cedarwood essential oil is renowned for its soothing and grounding properties, making it a great choice for a variety of uses.
Here are some ways to incorporate cedarwood essential oil into your daily routine:
- In a Diffuser: To enjoy its calming and woodsy scent, use a clean, dry diffuser. Fill the diffuser with water to the recommended level and add 5-10 drops of cedarwood essential oil. This will create a serene and comforting atmosphere in your space.
- Topical Application: For skin application, blend a few drops of cedarwood oil with a carrier oil to avoid skin irritation. You can also add a drop to your moisturiser or hair products for added benefits to your skin and hair care routine.
- As a Natural Repellent: Cedarwood essential oil can act as a natural repellent against moths, fleas, and other pests. Dilute it with a carrier oil or water and apply it to your skin, or mix a few drops in a spray bottle with water and spray around your home to keep pests away.
How to Dilute
How to Dilute cedarwood oil with a carrier oil
Diluting cedarwood oil with a carrier oil is a straightforward process. Generally, a safe dilution ratio for topical use is 1-2% essential oil to carrier oil.
This means for every 30ml of carrier oil (like almond, coconut, or jojoba oil), you should add about 6-12 drops of cedarwood oil.
Mix the oils well in a dark glass container to ensure they are properly blended.
For use on the face or for those with sensitive skin, a more diluted concentration, typically around 0.5-1%, is recommended.
Always conduct a patch test before full application to make sure you don't have an adverse reaction to the oil.
