Cade Essential Oil (Juniperus oxycedrus) 10ml

Cade Essential Oil is not widely used but we think that it’s a great oil that should be used more often in aromatherapy. The oil is distilled from the branches and wood of the Juniper tree.

The oil has a unique and very strong, smoky smell. It is usually used in small quantities and can be can be used as a fixative in fragrance blends. In hair products it is added for conditioning and to help treat dandruff. It can also work wonders when treating skin conditions such as eczema or spots. It may also help prevent hair loss.

Folklore has it that Cade can help ward off illnesses, negative forces and evil. Ancient cultures in Sumeria and Babylonia burned it as a sacrifice to the gods. It was also widely used by Native American Indians for medicinal purposes.

When used in a fragrance mix, Cade is an excellent base oil. It offers a lovely underlying smell that improves all other oils that it is added to it. It brings depth to citrus mixes and a warmth to any blend it is included in.

The spice and leather aromas of Cade Essential Oil mean that it is often used to fragrance soaps, perfumes, lotions and creams.
