Cedarwood oil is derived from the wood of cedar trees through steam distillation. It has been used for various purposes, including in aromatherapy, where it is believed to have calming and relaxing properties.
When inhaled, its aromatic compounds interact with the olfactory system. The olfactory system is connected to the limbic system, which is the part of the brain associated with emotions, memories, and mood regulation. This connection contributes to the oil's potential to influence mood and emotional well-being.
Cedarwood oil is renowned for its sedative effects. The compounds in cedarwood oil are believed to interact with neurotransmitters and receptors in the brain, thereby, promoting a sense of calmness and relaxation.
Aromatherapy with cedarwood oil is known to reduce the levels of stress hormones like cortisol in the body. Lower cortisol levels are associated with a more relaxed state.
Studies suggest that exposure to cedarwood oil can stimulate the production of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in mood regulation, and increased levels are associated with feelings of well-being and relaxation.
Cedarwood oil contains compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Inflammation and oxidative stress can contribute to feelings of tension and anxiety, so the potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of cedarwood oil may indirectly contribute to its calming properties.
