A Journey to Wellness with Cedarwood Oil

Forming an integral part of the Mediterranean basin, Lebanon is a small, biologically rich country boasting coastal lands, rivers and high mountains with a varied range of habitats, and has been widely known for its cedars, as they are the emblem of the country and the symbol of the Lebanese flag.

Cedar oil, also known as cedarwood oil, is an essential oil derived from cedar trees. This woody scented oil has existed throughout various civilisations for both cosmetic and medical benefits, and today, whether used topically or aromatically, its uses and healing benefits are limitless.
