Description of Cedarwood Essential Oil Virginian
The scent of Cedarwood Virginian
essential oil is at first oily and woody with a sweet
balsamic odor typical of cedarwood lumber. The Oil is a pale yellow to slightly orange yellow oil that is slightly less viscous than Atlas Cedarwood. It is steam distilled from the wood of J. virginiana, commonly known as Southern Red Cedarwood
The Aromatherapy Place offers a variety of Cedarwood
essential oils to suit your preference. Cedarwood Virginian is different from Cedarwood Atlas, chemically and from the standpoint of its scent. The tree C. atlantica (Atlas) is a pine, not a cypress as is the Virginian cedarwood.

(3) Do not use near the eyes and genitals, and do not take them orally.
(4) Excessive use may cause sensitization to the skin. Do a patch test before applying to the skin to ensure there is no sensitivity. If irritation occurs, wipe the affected area with a carrier oil (vegetable oil)

essential oil during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Oil blends may be used in a vaporizer or oil burner

essential oils out of the reach of children. Be very cautious when using with children, using only the gentlest oils, such as Lavender, but in extremely small doses
