Cedarwood’s most distinguishing property relative to the other wood oils is the dominating theme of “strength.” Of course, other tree oils such as pine and eucalyptus have this property to a degree. However, for cedarwood, this is the central theme of its therapeutic character.
In herbal medicine, cedar wood (particularly Cedrus deodara) has traditionally been used as a carminative and as a treatment for constipation. The bark, which exerts astringent and febrifuge (reduces fever) actions, is useful in the treatment of remittent and intermittent fevers (especially bilious fevers).
