Cedarwood  oil is an antiseptic, ant putrescent, antiseborrheic, aphrodesiac, astringent, diuretic, expectorant, fungicidal, mucilytic, sedative (nervous), stimulant (circulatory), and on top of all this, a tonic. Experiments in india have shown that cedarwood oil can be highly effective as a natural and environmental friendly insecticide and fungicide and can be easily used to preserve various spices during storage. Due to its nontoxic nature it can also be used to keep various household insects and pests at bay while being totally safe for mammals. In many cases cedarwood oil has proved to contain many anti-cancer properties especially against human epidermal carcinoma of the nasopharynx in tissue culture.  

cedarwood  is a tall, evergreen tree that grows up to 50 m, and even higher. It primarily grows on the slopes of the himalayas in northern india, pakistan and afghanistan.
