“Its branches will spread out like beautiful olive trees,
as fragrant as the cedars of Lebanon.
My people will again live under my shade.
They will flourish like grain and blossom like grapevines.
They will be as fragrant as the wines of Lebanon.”
Cedar Of Lebanon known as Cedarwood Cidrus Libiani® contains the rare natural compounds of concentration of terpenoids a-pinene, d-limonene, a-cedrene and corticosterone. Corticosteroneis found in the oil of only a very few botanicals, usually in smaller amounts, however it is found in greater quantities in the essential oil of Cedarwood Cedrus Libani ®. Our essential oil is artisan distilled from not only the wood but the leaves, buds,limbs, barks, resin and twigs because you are getting the whole spectrum of the tree in every bottle.
Benefits are Circulatory system, Respiratory clearing; Calming, Strengthening
So each year we gather as much as we can from the tree around Israel and its borders to get enough to create this essential oil. Whatever falls off the tree and onto the ground we would harvest buds, leaves/needles, wood chips, bark and tree limbs, bud needles, cone, and of course if any resin drips that harden and fall to the ground. See picture of our glass still filled with Cedar of Lebanon material for distillation.
All materials are then distilled together. We do get permission to take only what is on the ground since the trees are protected and we even pay to come to do the clean-up if we have to just to obtain the materials we need to create this small amount of oil exclusively from Israel The Holy Land. We also purchase any clippings and any pruning done to the trees as well. This is a costly process and expense for us to obtain this oil but oh so worth it.
The smell is sweet, fresh woodsy, light spice citrus top note, piney cedar, camphorus very slight menthol wood middle note, with a creamy full-bodied sweet amber, sweet woodsy overtones bottom note. It is like smelling a forest fresh in the bottle. A very distinct aroma.
This research paper says that it was quite possibly used for a leprosy cure. See (PDF) Essential oils components in the heartwood of Cedrus libani and Cedrus atlantica from Lebanon
