Product description:

Texas Cedarwood Essential Oil is steam distilled from wood pieces of the Juniperus ashei/mexicana botanical. It has a thin consistency and is either colorless or pale Yellow in appearance. Similar to the scent of Virginian Cedarwood Essential Oil, this oil’s aroma is exceptionally sweet and somewhat balsamic, albeit softer. Texas Cedarwood is derived from trees of the Juniper botanical family; thus, its chemical composition differs from that of oils obtained from botanicals of the Cedar family; however, its therapeutic properties are still similar to other Cedarwood Oil varieties, especially to Virginian Cedarwood, which also belongs to the Juniper family. Texas Cedarwood Essential Oil is believed to be ideal for addressing issues related to oily skin and hair, poor circulation, and symptoms of sinusitis. Furthermore, it is ideal for soothing inflammation and for preventing wounds from becoming infected. With soothing and anti-spasmodic properties, it is reputed to be ideal for relieving various spasmodic conditions, including respiratory, intestinal, and muscular spasms. As with other Cedarwood Oil varieties, its expectorant properties are known to facilitate the expulsion of phlegm, thereby soothing irritation, coughs, and congestion. As an emmenagogue, Texas Cedarwood Essential Oil is reputed to stimulate and regulate menstruation, benefitting those who suffer from irregular or obstructed menstrual cycles.
