Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
I have had a very dry and itchy scalp this winter, with red spots from scratching it.
I decided to try Cedarwood because it is known for reducing skin irritation and improving circulation to the scalp.
I put 5 drops of Cedarwood on the area last night, and woke up this morning with no itch, the flakiness is almost gone, and my skin looks and feels amazing!

It is also used in a healing bath for joint and muscle pain. One study evaluating treatments for children with eczema found [that] it was therapeutic touch from the mother that improved symptoms; in other words, massage with and without essential oils (including lavender) both reduced the dry, scaly skin lesions. Another study found that lavender oil may improve pain control after surgery." | Link |
