Cedarwood Testimonials
Sleeping pills no more.................
"We have an atomizer made for oils next to the bed with half Lavender and
half Cedarwood. One spray in the palm of my hand, dip my finger into the
oil for a bit on my forehead, a few GOOD huffs, and I rub my hands on the pillow
case next to my face...and I am OUT like a light. I used to have to take
sleeping pills EVERY night...no more!" Jessica Wild
"I have used YL Cedarwood Essential Oil for clearing up any of my post
menopausal acne. Any time I get an eruption from new facial hair, I grab the
Cedarwood and dab on a drop directly on the spots. One drop covers the whole
bunch. The skin gets dried at that spot and sloughs off. I then us coconut oil
as my usual facial moisturizer. I have had people tell me how young my face
looks. Could it be the oils? I think so!" Kathy Sheets

Tennis Elbow -
"I used Cedarwood throughout the day from the elbow to the wrist for
this problem/pain! It worked for me..... this is what got me into YL oils in the
beginning. The first application 5-7 drops took about 1/2 the pain away. The 2nd
application the pain went away (I had it in both arms as I'd been cutting down
burdock in the pasture for days!) . I used the arm bands for tennis elbow and
continued with the Cedarwood for a couple of months as I did not want it to
return."
