- Cedar wood essential oil is
extracted from Juniperus virginiana of the Cupressaceae family. It is
also known as Virginian, red, eastern red or southern red cedar, as well
as Bedford cedar wood.
- The tree is native to North
America and grows up to 30 meters (100 feet) and ages up to 1,000 years.
This is the tree Solomon used to build the Temple in Jerusalem. Cedrus
libani or Lebanon cedar, from which the first essential oil was
extracted, is very scarce due to over use.
- Cedar wood oils each have
characteristic woody odours which may change somewhat in the course of
drying out. The crude oils are often yellowish or even darker in colour
and some, such as Texas cedar wood oil, are quite viscous and deposit
crystals on standing.
- The oil harvested from J.
virginiana is known in the essential oils trade as Virginian cedar wood
oil or Cedar wood oil Virginiana and is recovered through the process of
partial pressure steam distillation of sawdust, wood shavings, old
stumps and chipped logs, materials which would otherwise be considered
waste.
- The oil harvested from J.
ashei is known as Texas cedarwood oil. This oil has different uses and
does not compete with the Virginia cedar wood oil. The chemical
composition of the two oils is similar, but Texas cedar wood oil is used
almost exclusively as feedstock for the manufacture of chemical
derivatives whereas Virginia cedar wood oil is used primarily in
fragrance formulas.
- Virginia cedar wood oil is
widely used in the fragrance industry in soaps, air fresheners, floor
polishes, and sanitation supplies. It is also used in deodorants,
insecticides, mothproof bags, and janitorial supplies. In addition, a
large percentage of this oil is used as a starting material for cedrol
and cedryl acetate.
- The therapeutic properties of
cedar wood oil are antiseborrhoeic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, tonic,
astringent, diuretic, emmenagogue, expectorant, insecticide, sedative
and fungicide.
- Cedar wood oil benefits the
skin by its sedating ability which relieves itching. Its astringent
action is great for acne, oily skin, as well as for hair and dandruff.
It helps with chest and urinary infections, acts as a general tonic and
has a pronounced effect on mucus membranes.
- It has a calming and soothing
effect on the mind and is of great help in conditions associated with
anxiety and nervous tension. It is also of value in cases of arthritis
and rheumatism.
- Excluding the People's
Republic of China, for which the magnitude of consumption of
domestically produced cedar wood oil is not known, the United States,
Western Europe and Japan are the major markets for the oil.
- The red cedar market ranges
from small operations with gross annual sales of less than $10,000 per
year to large firms with gross annual sales over $16 million.
- Based on a retail price of $50
per gallon, there is a potential for $520,200 to $ 1,106,062.50 (average
of $813,450) of value per year in oils. This wholesale market could
provide between $156,060 and $650,625 in base economic
activity.
