Skin and Sleep Support

Cedarwood has a rich, warm and woody aroma perfect to diffuse for calming down or sleep. This oil is one of those that sat in my cabinet for months before I knew what to do with it, then iIn 2014 I attended a conference on hormones and natural ways to support them in Denver. We specifically looked at the chemistry of cedarwood oi to aid in sleep. The main chemistry compounds in cedarwood (specifically α-cedrene, cedrol, thujopsene) support you staying in REM cycles longer. REM sleep plays an important role in learning and memory function, since this is when your brain consolidates and processes information from the day so that it can be stored in your long-term memory. So getting more REM would be pretty awesome for any of you out there who can fall asleep but not STAY asleep.

I love this oil not only for resting but added to my skin and hair. To clarify my skin and hair I add one drop to my toner and 8 drops to my hair spritzer (for that recipe DM me). If you have flaky skin especially on your scalp and joints this oil with a little fractionated coconut oil will be your new best friend. 

This month cedar wood is 10% off so if you were thinking of trying it, NOW is the time. If you want to smell it first just send me a message so you can experience it yourself.
