I love them so much and find them so beautiful-- their reddish brown bark that  peels off in long strips down the trunk, the smell of their evergreen foliage (hands down one of my favourite smells on the planet). Cedar is sweet, grounding, protective. Working with cedar is one of the many ways of deepening our connection to the land and ancestral memory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia;\"\u003eGrandmother Cedar is a sacred medicine for the Anishnaabe peoples, and it is one of the Four Sacred Medicines on the medicine wheel. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhat's Inside? \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia;\"\u003eEastern Red Cedar infused organic extra virgin olive oil, raw Canadian beeswax\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia;\"\u003e*this particular batch is made from cedar gathered by Noa and I!

To call upon the wisdom of the elders, your ancestors, to remind you to slow down, rest, and ground yourself. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia;\"\u003eThe salve can be applied to pulse points, to the heart, hands, etc. with this intention.

I create all of my oils with plants in their whole form, and I do this intentionally. The beautiful depth that plants carry comes from their wholeness-- they are complete beings with layers of aroma, energy, and supportive qualities. Whole-plant infusions allow all of those elements to come through, creating oils that feel more grounded, balanced, and true to the plant itself. If I was to extract the essential oil from the Cedar it would have a much more pronounced smell, but this salve is more subtle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Integration Herbals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45714859393077,"sku":"00127","price":15.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/4053\/8421\/files\/5518020933.png?v=1783476792","url":"https:\/\/integrationherbals.com\/products\/cedar-salve-1oz","provider":"Integration Herbals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
