Cedarwood for the WIN!
Cedarwood Enhances Exercise Routines
Although we feel great and look better when we stick to our exercise routines, sometimes they can be tiring. With dōTERRA’s Cedarwood essential oil, you can add an extra boost of vitality and wellness to your entire workout. Before beginning, I massage one to two drops onto my chest to maintain motivation throughout any workout.
Cedarwood is Purifying to Skin
Did you know that many people use Cedar oil for skin due to its purifying abilities? You can easily incorporate Cedarwood Essential Oil into your daily facial routine by simply adding one to two drops to your facial toner or moisturizer for added clarifying properties. The cleansing properties of Cedarwood Essential Oil can also help improve the appearance of skin imperfections.
Energetically Speaking
Cedarwood is known as the Oil of Community. Think of the strength you feel when united together for a cause or a belief. Cedarwood inspires emotional bonding to feel a belonging with other like minded people. It encourages an open heart to the love and support of those who care. It teaches that being social is safe.
My Favorite Cedarwood
Cedarwood also has properties that help soothe the mind and body. The warm, woody scent can create a calm, relaxing environment when used aromatically or topically. Diffusing Cedarwood oil in your home, office, or workspace can help promote feelings of confidence, self-esteem, and evoke feelings of wellness. My favorite time to use Cedarwood is right before bed after a long, stressful day. I apply it to my chest so every time I adjust my blankets, I get a whiff of wonderfulness!

Trying to Incorporate Essential Oils into Your Daily Life?
Are you looking for new ways to incorporate essential oil use in your life? This week we are highlighting the three main ways to use essential oils. Because of the purity of dōTERRA Essential oils, you can use them aromatically, topically, or internally. When using essential oils, pay attention to the labeling on the product because some oils have usage restrictions.
For more in-depth instruction on essential oil usage, check out this page!
“Enjoy an essential oil aromatically by diffusing it through an essential oil diffuser, applying a drop to your hands and inhaling, or wearing it as a personal fragrance. You can benefit from topical use by using essential oils to give a back massage, applying it to a targeted area and rubbing it in, or by adding a drop or two to lotions or moisturizers.
The last way to use essential oils is by ingesting them or taking them internally. Add a drop to a glass of water, under your tongue or in a veggie capsule and the oil will move throughout your body. “ Remember, due to purity and strength, only drink essential oils in liquid that is in glass or stainless steel.
