Anecdotal Information: This is a great oil to use for smell recognition and for its relaxing qualities. It is time tested as an anti-putrid making this an effective skin care oil. Use it for acne, oily skin or blend it with Ti-Tree (ten drops to an ounce of shampoo) for dandruff or seborrhea of the scalp. Cedarwood is effective as a natural insect repellant especially for moths, termites and roaches just like the fragrance from a Cedarwood closet. Cedarwood is an ingredient in A-CAM’s Insecticide synergy. It is also what we use to relieving itching.
