description
Cedar wood oil is extracted from an evergreen tree grown in the Himalayas, known as the Himalayan Cedar. This tree is quite tall reaching about 150 feet with green needle like leaves. An element called cedrol, a type of naturally occurring alcohol, is found in cedar wood trees, which has been found to act as a pesticide on insects. Cedar oil has been used by ancient Egyptians in the embalming process to keep insects from disturbing the body. Many people enjoy the sweet woody aroma of this oil, making it an excellent ingredient in household products, perfumes, soaps, and candles.
