Hi Jen, great information on cedarwood essential oil. I just started in essential oils and have found it to be very expensive. I would like a few select budget oils that I can get a lot of use out of. Every time I see an essential oil recipe it has another group of oils I would have to buy. Are there some useful recipes out there that use some of the more affordable oils and you can use the same ones to make different things? Thanks so much, enjoyed your video.
Cedarwood is VERY affordable! I call it "poor man's sandalwood" haha. Usually each expensive oil has a more budget friendly counterpart. Many oils are found to be $10-$30.
Jen, when you want to apply to the hair and scalp, should it be added to coconut or jojoba oil as a carrier? I've done some reading about how good it is for the hair, but no mention how to apply or use.
Hey Jen, How do you add to the Tranquil blend? I would love to figure out how to refill/add to my Young Living roll-ons! Thanks for all the oily tips!!!
will it will effect hair, because it is pure oil. i like to blend it with lavender and rosemary for hair oil , do you thing it is good combination and is it safe? Thanks for a good video.
How did you figure that cedarwood oil's good for the lymphatics? Just curious because any way to detect lymphatic change seems really significant. Or, did you just get a scholarly insight? Would appreciate your response. Thanks in advance, Jen!
I have been in bodywork practice since 2001 and my deduction was from over 15 years of practice using it in my massage oil blend. Plus you can find a lot of historical use of cedarwood to promote lymphatic health as well.
I guess my question is, what do you mean by "lymphatic health"? Surely you don't refer to the disease of "elephantiasis". Do you mean people with "lymphoma", where a change was attributed to application of oil? Or perhaps you mean it as a generalized notion of better health, but then why would that be a "lymphatic" feature? Might you mean improving health of those struck with the "auto-immune" phenomenon, and because lymphatics and "immune system" are practically synonymous, it helped there? I'm sure your oils are good, and many are, but do you have something substantial worth noting in particular you can attribute to lymphatics? Perhaps you're able to induce better lymph flow, but all exercise accomplishes that, more or less, so is your attribution just a hunch of 15 years, is all? Don't mean to be antagonistic, by the way, just really trying to progress my learning.
I just got the atlas cedar. Everyone says it smells sweet and woody but mine smells horrid and reminds me of horse farm or horse pee/poop haha I regret buying it. Should've gotten the cedarwood
If you got pure cedarwood from Young Living and it smells like that, it's not the oil. Have you heard the phrase "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, YOU NEEEEEEED IT?"
Jen Springer I got mine from Nowfoods. i thought it would smells like christmas because it's wood. I'll continue to try it. Maybe I'll like it but i doubt so haha
Hi Jen Being invaded by moths and each night we zap like 4 or 5 with my trusty electric tennis racket These moths dont seem to like lights ive tried 1 or 2 things but not worked and someone said about cedarwood as in small shaped bits of wood Will the wood help get rid of these blasted things ? do insect really hate this stuff ? many thanks
Cedarwood is one of my favorites to diffuse at night before bed!
I just love that tip on turning yourself into a diffuser. Thanks a million!
Welcome!
Try and find out for yourself! I've had great success :D

Some people us it neat and others use a carrier. Personally, a little coconut is good so the scalp doesn't get dry :D

I think there's a way to do it with the cap. The cap acts like a wrench in a way to pop it off sideways

ruffyatutube I cannot speak to diseases. I can only speak to maintaining and promoting health using this essential oil for legal reasons :D

It could be the quality, it may not be you :D Send me a message on my blog and I can send you a sample of some better stuff JenSpringer.com
Jen Springer Thanks so much Jen! :)
I don't like the smell either. I've experimented with addition of lemongrass oil, and that helps. Lavender would probably be good, too.

Yes they do hate it! If they are in your house you can diffuse, just be sure to use the good stuff
Thank you! :)
