I recently came across a fascinating story online about people being anointed with cedarwood oil—a practice with roots reaching all the way back to ancient times. In the Bible, priests were anointed with holy anointing oil that ran down their beards and even onto their clothes.
That image stirred my curiosity. Cedarwood oil is known for so many incredible properties—stimulating the limbic system and pineal gland, promoting calm and focus, supporting healthy hair, scalp, skin, and even the lymphatic system. I thought, Why not try it? It certainly couldn’t hurt!

How I Did It
Cedarwood is a heavier oil, so I wanted to give it plenty of time to work. I showered and dried my hair, then asked my husband to pour about 8 mL directly onto my head and massage it into my scalp. I brushed it through my long hair and twisted it into a bun. The aroma was instantly relaxing.
At the time, I was preparing for a three-week trip. Usually, pre-travel me is a scattered mess—but this time, it was different.
The Results
- Executive function in overdrive: I was calm, organized, and nothing was forgotten.
- Better sleep: Both my husband and I slept like babies.
- No pre-trip stress: No freak-outs, no mental fog—just steady focus.
- Shiny, silky hair: When I finally washed my hair more than 24 hours later, it felt like silk and still smelled like cedarwood for days.
Final Thoughts
This simple, ancient-inspired ritual gave me calm energy, sharper focus, better sleep, and hair that felt amazing. Cedarwood oil has earned a permanent spot in my wellness toolbox—not just for its physical benefits, but for the peace it brings to my mind. And the cost was minimal! If you'd like to add this simple anointing to your routine, give it a try! It's totally worth it!
