The cedar is a tree originally from Africa and Russia. A cedar tree in Russia has to grow for over 500 years to become a "ringing cedar". Only at this age does the healing power of this plant unfold. The wood itself, the resin, the needles and of course the valuable cedar nuts are used from the cedar.

On the one hand, there is the cold-pressed oil from the cedar nuts. With a variety of vitamins, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, important minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, this is ideal for internal and external use. All these health-promoting substances are contained in both the nuts and the cold-pressed oil.

Cedar oil is known for its strengthening effect on the immune system and the heart. The nervous system is also positively influenced by the application. Especially with mental and emotional tension, it has a calming and balancing effect. The oil can also be useful for lung diseases, such as tuberculosis. It is also used in cosmetics because it can have a wrinkle-reducing effect. Cedar resin is used in dental care products. It is said to prevent gum disease.

The essential oil, which is applied purely externally, can have a positive effect on joint diseases, colds and the skin. It is even said to counteract hair loss if you mix 3-4 drops of oil with your shampoo and wash your hair regularly with it.

The cedar belongs to the pine family. These evergreen trees can reach a height of up to 40 m and can live up to 900 years. The purity of the air is said to be particularly high in cedar forests. Hiking through this forest should also have an energizing effect. The main types of cedar are found in North Africa, in the Atlas and Rif mountains and in Siberia. The garden forms of this plant also thrive in our latitudes.
