Atlas Cedar Essential Oil, also known as Cedarwood is steam distilled from the wood. The fragrance is soft, smooth, and grounding. Unlike the other confifers, Atlas Cedar Essential Oil brings instant uplifting, yet calming, effects with a fragrance that is delicate and sweet with a woody undertone, rather than overtone. It's important to know what you're getting when you're looking for Atlas Cedar essential oil as many suppliers do not make the distinction between other Cedar essential oils and Atlas Cedar essential oils, and the therapeutic activity varies significantly between chemotypes, with Atlas Cedar essential oil being the most gentle, and user friendly, for personal care use.

Atlas Cedar Essential Oil also offers a soothing effect on sore muscles, and joints, as well a decongesting benefit to upper, and lower, respiratory conditions, making it the perfect choice for the aches and pains of the Flu, Bronchitis, and Sinusitis, or any other congestion.
