Cedarwood Oil For Sleep

Cedarwood essential oil is a favorite for promoting deep sleep and relaxing stress or anxieties. When inhaled, a chemical compound in the oil called cedrol results in a sedative effect. This can be very helpful for those with insomnia or someone who struggles to fall asleep.

To use cedarwood oil for sleep, you should diffuse a few drops of it along with a small amount of distilled water. Use it in your bedroom at night to encourage rest. You can also add a few drops into a hot bath or at the bottom of your shower at night to promote calm and relaxation before you go to bed.

Another easy way to receive cedarwood oil’s benefits is to place a few drops onto a clean washcloth or towel and tuck it under your pillow at night. This way, you can breathe the calming scent as you fall asleep and throughout the night.
