Cedarwood oil fortifies and strengthens the body's Qi-energy. It may be used for general tiredness, nervousness, lower backache and poor concentration.

For skin and hair care, cedarwood improves oily skin, acne, dandruff and oily scalp.

Cedarwood oil's ability to strengthen the energetic function of the Kidneys relates psychologically to its fortifying action on the Will. In contrast to ginger, it does not stimulate the will-power to action so much as give us the will to hold firm, even against persistent external forces.
