Common Name: Virginia Cedarwood
Latin Name: Juniperus virginiana
Aroma: The aroma of this cedarwood is a beautiful balsamic and lightly sweet one that is just dreamy! It has a nice woodsy aroma that is similar to my beloved Alligator Juniper, but is not as pronounced. The color is just as beautiful as the aroma, too! It is a deep red to brown color that is quite eye catching!
Blends with: Bergamot, Black Pepper, Black Spruce, Blood Orange Cinnamon, Clary Sage, Clove Bud, Cypress, Douglas-fir, Eucalyptus Ironbark, Grapefruit, Ginger, Helichrysum, Kunzea, Red Mandarin, Sweet Marjoram, Palmarosa, Patchouli, Scotch Pine, Vetiver, and Ylang Ylang.
Energetic Qualities: Grounding, calming during stressful transitions, helps take the load off the nervous system, balancing, protective while providing strength, can be used in clearing blends, and is soothing to nerves.
Recommended applications: Diffuse, topical application using safe dilution ratios, steam inhalation, inhaler.
Aromatherapist notes: This particular essential oil is distilled from the heart wood and not the outer portion of the trunk wood so the color will be a beautiful deep red to dark brown color.
Growing up in Oklahoma, I was surrounded by these trees! I have always been deeply connected to them so I had to find a distiller that offered it. I like to use this particular cedarwood for littles when they have colds. I have found it to be soothing and can help break up mucous associated with respiratory colds. It also makes a wonderful addition to muscle tissue blends with the cedrene's anti-inflammatory actions.
