Champions in the category of trees spanning the centuries, cedars can live for more than 2000 years! Cedars come to us from the Middle East, North Africa or the Himalayas. Since cedar wood is rot-proof, it has been used since Antiquity to make ship hulls, precious caskets and even sarcophagi! The essence of the cedar and its resin entered into the preparations used to embalm the mummies to protect them from insects and parasites. Some gardeners use its needles as mulch to limit plant growth or to protect strawberries from weeds. The tannins they release during their degradation help block the development of plants that would like to settle nearby. Macerated cedar needles contain far more vitamin C than an orange! It is also an incredible antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. You can also benefit from the cedar’s energy by simply climbing its branches, which are quite accessible to most of them. By going directly into contact with the trunk with your hands, you will feel a mental calm while strengthening your ability to enlighten your consciousness. This majestic and respectful tree therefore leaves no one indifferent. To meet him is to let yourself be transported in a whirlwind of positive emotions…
