A great cedarwood this one can stand on its own in a simple mint blend. I also like it blended with fir needle, oakmoss and a touch of rosemary. Thanks NDA!

I use this cedarwood in many blends, very useful oil, and this one is great quality.
This cedarwood is a possible ABORTIFACIENT. Do not use if pregnant. It is very similar to Texas Cedarwood. Use for acne, arthritis, bronchitis, congestion, coughs, eczema, greasy hair, insect repellent, nervous tension, oily skin, psoriasis, rheumatism, sinusitis. (Also known as Bedford Cedarwood Oil, Eastern Red Cedar, Red Cedar, Southern Red Cedar.) Closely related to the East African Cedarwood, Juniperus procea.
