The Many Benefits Of Cedarwood Essential Oil

It’s no secret that here at NEOM, we’re big fans of cedarwood essential oil. You’ll find its fresh and woody scent in many of our blends – from Bedtime Hero to Focus The Mind – but it’s not just cedarwood’s rich and balsamic aroma that makes it a must-have in our Essential Oil Blends. Cedarwood also holds many wonderful wellbeing benefits.

So, whether you’re seeking an escape from a busy day or you’re in need of a mental uplift and clarity, here’s how cedarwood essential oil can help…

Why Cedarwood Essential Oil is a Must-Have for Emotional Wellbeing

Here are two of the best reasons you'll want to add this Essential Oil to your current routine...

1. To Help Bring All The Relaxing Vibes

While it sometimes seems as though lavender gets all the attention, cedarwood essential oil is actually one of our favourite essential oils to help promote a sense of relaxation and give you that ‘ahhhh’ feeling at the end of a long, strenuous day. Its soothing woody scent can help calm the mind and body, making it easier to unwind and switch-off. Try incorporating cedarwood into your evening routine with our Bedtime Hero Pillow Mist, which blends earthy cedarwood with calming chamomile and ylang ylang to help you drift off peacefully.

2. To Help Improve Focus And Concentration

In addition to cedarwood’s relaxing properties, it’s been suggested that the Ancient essential oil could also help improve focus and concentration. An interesting study which was carried out at Brigham Young University focused on a group of children with ADHD. Once the oil was inhaled, it was noted that it had a positive effect on behaviour and focus, compared to those who inhaled a placebo. Want to give it a go? Try diffusing our Sensuous Essential Oil Blend, which combines fresh and woody cedarwood notes with frankincense and patchouli, in your Wellbeing Pod to create a calming and focused environment.
