Cedar wood is widely known for its wonderful aroma and insect-repelling quality. The oil inside the wood emits an earthy, woodsy and slightly sweet scent. This may make it beneficial for skin conditions like acne, spot treatment on pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads. Used for scalp and skin massage. Massaging your scalp with a mixture of cedar wood oil and a carrier oil may also help reduce and soothe an itchy, flaking scalp. This may make it beneficial for treating dandruff and scalp eczema. Cedar wood is antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, diuretic, insecticidal and antifungal.
