Cedar wood Essential Oil chemistry is the reason why inhalating this oil, by using your olfaction system, is stimulating the natural secretion of your own melatonin. Indeed, this oil is containing the highest amount of sesquinterpens…. Sesquinterpenes “delete faulty information in cellular memory.” This is largely exposed in French aromatherapist specialist's literature: Le Guide de l'Olfacto Thérapie by Guillaume Gerault, Jean Charles Sommerard, Catherine Behar and Ronald Mary.
Other research from the universities of Berlin and Vienna shows that these increase oxygenation around the pineal and pituitary glands and have the ability to surpass the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain tissue. Melatonin is well known to help falling asleep, cedarwood is the perfect solution for a natural good and deep sleep.
How it works:
When inhaling essential oils, the extremely volatile molecules are penetrating the respiratory system and are reaching the olfactory neurons. These neurons thanks to the neurotransmitters (the substance in your body responsible for passing a nervous message…just like…a “postman”…), are stimulating the limbic system (also called the archaic brain). The limbic system is regulating emotions. The brain registers aroma twice as fast as it does pain, it is a powerful tool to transform emotions.

Through our blog and social medias pages, we will also aim to bring you the very best recipes and advice to help you and inspire you every step of the way.
A little about our name, the Spoiled Bee comes from the desire of protecting our beautiful bees and of course spoiling them! Did you know scientists agree that if all bees were to disappear from the face of the earth, humanity only has about 4 years left to live due to the lack of pollination? That is why we have decided to offer among many other products and ingredients, a range of bee products which also happen to have amazing properties for your body, skin and hair.
Now we know you are probably wondering how encouraging the commerce of bee products will help the bee population? Well, over the last few decades, bee products have unfortunately and often rightly been associated with harsh harvesting and mass production to keep up with the growing demand. We will never be doing that in a million (or trillion) years! We make sure that all our bee products are harvested in a sustainable and respectful manner by carefully selecting trusted bee keepers.
All the hives are located in flowery fields and forests, away from all modern pollution and chemicals and the beekeepers always make sure our bees have more than enough honey left for winter. The more hives, the more the bee population of the world will thrive once again so please help us help them!
Lots of Love
