Preserving Himalayan Cedarwood


Also called Tibetan Cedarwood, but milder than all other Cedarwoods, yet not less beneficial. Warming, uplifting, and toning. Comforting and reviving. Considered an aphrodisiac in that it is grounding and inspiring at the same time. Confidence building. Long lasting, acts as a fixative (a fixative is a substance that binds other compounds, slowing down their evaporation and thereby making their fragrance last longer). This essential oil makes up the third part of our Just Pure Signature Blend. Popular incense ingredient, and still commonly burned in Tibetan temples. In former times, linen chests were frequently crafted from this wood to keep moths out. The ancient Egyptians used this oil in various ways, namely to embalm the deceased, for cosmetics and for perfumery.
