Cedrol（Cat No.:I014289）is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol found in the essential oils of cedarwood and other coniferous trees. Known for its pleasant, woody aroma, cedrol is widely used in perfumery and aromatherapy for its calming effects. It has also attracted interest in research for potential therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and sedative effects, making it useful in alternative medicine. Cedrol’s unique chemical profile makes it valuable in studying plant-based bioactive compounds and their applications in wellness, relaxation, and potential medicinal benefits.
