Product Abstract and Benefits: Cedarwood is a pyramid-shaped majestic evergreen tree, which grows up to 140 ft. high. The wood itself is hard and strongly aromatic because of the essential oil it contains, which is obtained by steam distillation. Originating in the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, linen chests were frequently crafted from Cedar.
It is no wonder why cedars were the tree mentioned most in the Holy Bible, symbolizing a source of protection, wisdom and abundance. In fact, the Cedar is the same tree that was used by Solomon to build the Temple of Jerusalem, and the oil derived from cedar wood has been used for centuries by the Egyptians and Native Americans for both cosmetic and medical benefits. The ancient Egyptians prized the oil, mostly for embalming purposes, but also for cosmetics and perfumery. The oil gives off a sweet, deep woody scent that has been widely used in incense, perfumes and colognes.
