The cedar is a tree that originally comes 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 of the cedar itself, the resin, the needles and of course the valuable cedar nuts are used.

On the one hand, there is the cold-pressed oil from cedar nuts. With a variety of vitamins, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, and important minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus, this is ideal for internal and external use. All of 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. It also has a positive effect on the nervous system. It has a calming and balancing effect, particularly in cases of mental and emotional tension. 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 more commonly used in dental care products. It is said to prevent gum disease.

The essential oil, which is used purely externally, can have a positive effect on joint diseases, colds and the skin, among other things. 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 live up to 900 years. The air in cedar forests is said to be particularly pure. Hiking through this forest is also said to have an energizing effect. The main species of cedar are found in North Africa, the Atlas and Rif Mountains and in Siberia. The garden forms of this plant also thrive in our latitudes.
