Not many of us have seen a cedarwood tree. But for those who have, many would claim that the tree’s aroma stays with them for a long time and can’t help but be hooked! Today, cedarwood oil is one of the sought-after nourishing oils for massage therapy treatment. Besides its warm and comforting scent, it is a powerhouse of natural goodness that will surely benefit the skin. In this read, let us go deeper in understanding how it betters the skin when applied for a massage therapy treatment.

WHAT IS CEDARWOOD ESSENTIAL OIL?

Cedarwood oil is an essential oil that is derived from several parts of the cedar trees, especially bark pieces of the hardwood. It can be extracted through different techniques.
