Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Atlantic Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) has a history of traditional use, particularly in folk medicine, for supporting respiratory and bronchial health. In some cultures, cedarwood oil and extracts have been used to address coughs, bronchitis, and other respiratory complaints, often through inhalation or topical applications. The rationale behind its use is primarily due to its aromatic and expectorant properties, which were believed to help clear airway congestion and ease breathing.

However, scientific research to substantiate these traditional claims is extremely limited. Most studies involving cedarwood focus on its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and insect-repellent properties, rather than direct effects on the bronchial system. There is little to no clinical evidence demonstrating a clear benefit of Atlantic Cedar for bronchial support in controlled human studies. Furthermore, some components of cedarwood oil can be irritating to the mucous membranes if inhaled in concentrated forms.

In summary, the use of Atlantic Cedar for bronchial support is grounded in tradition rather than robust scientific validation. While there are anecdotal and historical accounts of its use, current evidence does not strongly support its efficacy for this purpose.
