1. Ancient and Traditional Uses
Mediterranean Roots: Native to the Mediterranean basin, Juniperus oxycedrus has been utilized for centuries by the people of southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Medicinal Purposes:
The oil derived from its wood and branches, known as Cade oil, was traditionally used for its antiseptic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties.
It was particularly valued in treating skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis, as well as wounds and burns.

Smoke as a Cleanser: In ancient times, burning the wood or branches was believed to purify the air and ward off evil spirits, as well as prevent infections.
Veterinary Medicine: Cade oil was also applied to livestock to treat skin infections and repel parasites.

2. Use in Traditional Medicine
Greek and Roman Medicine:
The Greeks and Romans used the plant in topical preparations for skin diseases and as a natural disinfectant.
The resinous wood was sometimes burned to fumigate homes and public spaces.

North African Practices: In Berber and other North African cultures, the oil was a go-to remedy for skin ailments and a protective agent against lice and scabies.

3. Historical Processing of Cade Oil
Traditional Distillation: Cade oil was historically extracted through a slow process of pyrolysis (dry distillation) of the wood. This labor-intensive method resulted in the thick, tar-like oil prized for its medicinal and cosmetic applications.

Local Production: Cade oil production was a cottage industry in Mediterranean countries, passed down through generations.

4. Cultural Symbolism
Juniper’s Sacred Role: Like other juniper species, Juniperus oxycedrus was considered sacred in many cultures. It symbolized protection, purification, and healing.

Use in Rituals: The smoke from burning juniper wood was believed to protect against curses, illnesses, and malevolent spirits.

5. Modern History and Industrial Use
19th and 20th Century Medicine: Cade oil became more widely recognized in Western medicine during the 19th century for treating dermatological conditions and as an ingredient in veterinary salves.

Cosmetic Industry: By the 20th century, Cade oil began to be included in soaps, shampoos, and ointments for its therapeutic and aromatic qualities.

Decline and Resurgence: While its use waned with the rise of synthetic products, Cade oil has seen a resurgence in natural skincare and aromatherapy in recent years due to growing interest in organic and traditional remedies.

6. Present Day
Today, Juniperus oxycedrus is still harvested in Mediterranean regions for Cade oil, which is highly regarded for its natural therapeutic properties. It is used in both traditional medicine and modern formulations, particularly for skin health and environmental purification.

This rich history reflects how Juniperus oxycedrus has remained relevant across cultures and centuries, bridging ancient wisdom and contemporary wellness practices.
