Easter White Cedar

Eastern White Cedar essential oil is an oil that CANNOT be used internally. But it is a particularly interesting oil for topical applications, because of its healing power. Cedar oil can be a precious help to overcoming the most difficult wounds and scars. In synergy with Tansy Vulgaris (Tanacetum vulgare) or Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), it is very active on intestinal parasites even when applied to the skin. Always refer to a specialist for internal use, as this essential oil requires special knowledge. Its mucolytic and anticatarrhal properties make this oil a first choice for bronchitis with a lot of mucus, because it frees the bronchi of their secretions, which allows for better breathing. It also acts directly on the infection through its antibacterial property.
