Cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana) is insect repelling, skin healing and stimulates the respiratory system. It’s useful in a chest rub to relieve congestion or to help fight infection. Its astringent (skin tightening) properties help with oily and acne prone skin while assisting in healing open blemishes.
