Cedarwood Atlas - Cedrus Atlantica

History & Character

This magnificent tree is graceful and powerful with an awesome presence. It is native to the Atlas mountains of Morocco and thought to be related to the Cedars of Lebanon. It is also closely related to the Himalayan cedar ( Cedrus Deodora), which produces an essential oil that can be used interchangeably with the Atlas Cedar.

Cedarwood has a long tradition of religious use in various cultures, an incense and for building temples. The Egyptians used it for cosmetics and embalming. The Cedar tree grows in the high mountains, where the air is clean and fresh. The tree has deep spreading roots and a tall straight trunk. The branches are flexible, moving in the wind but anchored to the central trunk.

Cedarwood oil grounds and centers us in our being, helping us to take a deep breath so we can face up to tough situations, it helps those who feel alienated, or fear that they don't have the strength to " hold it together", or generally feel overwhelmed by circumstances they have no control over.

Cedarwood gives inner calm in times of instability and is one of the oils to try if you are moving house or making similar major life changes.
