CEDARWOOD ATLAS
cedrus atlantica {10ml}
Product Summary
Cedarwood Atlas appears repeatedly in the Bible, and according to the Song of Solomon was used to build Solomon’s temple. It came to symbolize abundance, fertility, and spiritual strength. The name cedrus originated from the Arabic word kedron, meaning “power”.*
Cedarwood Atlas can help to give us immovable strength in times of crisis. Steadying the conscious mind, it helps us to resist the sudden events and powerful emotions that threaten to undermine our confidence and morale. It can “buck-up” the ego when we feel alienated or destabilized – when we find ourselves, for example, suffering from “culture shock” in a foreign country or in a strange situation. The oil’s virile woody-balsamic aroma is one that helps us to take a negative or threatening situation, and transform it into an experience from which we can derive strength and wisdom.*
Cedarwood Atlas essential oil is strengthening and a powerful tonic for both the kidneys and spleenpancreas; it may assist the body with general lethargy, nervous debility, lower backache, and poor concentration.*
Cedarwood Atlas is decongesting for the lymphatic system and encourages drainage and stimulates the breakdown of accumulated fats. Mildly diuretic in action, it may be used for excessive weight gain, cellulite, and edema. The decongestant nature of the oil combined with its anti-infectious properties make it helpful when assisting the body with genito-urinary and respiratory concerns.*
