Cedar Tea for your Immune System Helps purge your Lymphatic System and its Anti-Viral too!

Cedar is One of the oldest living trees in the world, known to be over 1700 years old (core samples). Cedar bough tea is used as an immune system tonic, it contains everything your immune system needs to repair and strengthen.

One special feature of cedar bough tea is that it purges the lymphatic system. When ailed by a virus or sickness, lymph nodes fill up and swell, causing discomfort, cedar purges the lymph nodes making more room for them to collect more waste, making your body extremely effective at getting rid of all this garbage. This is why you get better so quick when using cedar tea.

You only get rid of junk 3 ways: poop, pee, sweat. How does your body get rid of waste via sweat? Lymphatic system. The one system in our bodies that we know relatively little about. This system weaves in and around blood capillaries and lives in the 'dead space' collecting waste that it sends through lymphatic vessels until it is eliminated through your skin via sweat.

It truly is one of the most powerful ways to eliminate waste, and we do not take advantage of it. We wake up in an air conditioned house, we turn the car on, that already has the AC on HIGH, from inside and when we think its cold enough inside the car we sprint from inside and hop in the cold car, drive to our air conditioned work and when we get there we say: “Woo, thank God I almost started to sweat!” Then we go from work to our pre-cooled air conditioned car to our air conditioned home. We don't sweat anymore, at least not the way we used to. Those farming days where there was no escape from the blistering 40 degree summers when work still had to be done. We are doing everything we can these days to force our lymphatic system into lethargy.

Within the context of being a lymphatic system medicine, I don't think that cedar tea ingested is not the intended use, here is why: Before the industrialization of soaps, we used plant-based medicine tea to have sponge/basin baths! What happens when you use cedar tea to bathe? It purges your lymph vessles and nodes, relieving your skin of this constant slow leech of toxins and garbage that is slowly secreted onto the surface of your skin which is the cause of a ton of problems.

This reason alone is reason enough to adopt this way of bathing and never turning back, given the epidemic of skin conditions.


Cedar also is an extreme diaphoretic, meaning it makes you sweat. What this means for your skin is that when the cedar tea soaked cloth grazes by your skin it competely opens every pore on your skin and sucks out water, sweat, basically pressure washing each and every pore on your skin, making and keeping your skin so clean and clear, that it takes days, almost a week to get dirty enough to have to bathe again, not to mention the lack of body odor. Versus soap which closes and even deposits junk into the pore clogging it and creating a ton of tiny infections. This would be enough for every woman on the planet to never look back. Ceder oils have benefits in it that carry into the tea that you clean yourself with these oils in it are anti-bacterial, anti-septic, anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-pruretic, anti-fungal, anti-anti-anti-everything.

Body washs are designed by man, and they are only meant to only get you through the work day (so by the weeks end you have to buy another bottle), plant based medicine is designed by the Creator of the universe, made to heal you, and keep you strong, healthy and cleaner than ever before!

What makes cedar different than all of the other trees around it, what makes it unique, what is its signature? Its an evergreen! What separates it from evergreens? Its leaves are flat and scaly, they are not needles. Lets take a closer look at those flat green scaly looking leaves and see what they have to say.

Talk to any biologist on the planet and ask him why cedar has all these grooves in the scaly looking leaves, what purpose do they serve? None, is a quick honest answer. The only way you can make sense of this style of leaf is that it has been created to show you that it looks like the lymphatic vessels in your body. Lymphatic vessels have the same branching pattern, they are flat, green, scaly and have valves to prevent back-flow, every vessel always ends 'open' because its designed to eliminate waste out. Every single cedar leaf has the same valves and they always end open! This is a signature from the Creator of the universe to show us and confirm with us that this plant is meant to heal our lymphatic system.

How to make Cedar Tea


Take cedar leaves for example. Cedar is a medicinal plant and has been used to treat fevers, chest colds, and flu-like symptoms. It also contains a large amount of vitamin C. But like everything, consuming too much of one thing is never good for your body. And in this case, it is recommended that you drink no more than 3 cups of cedar tea per week.

Making cedar tea from scratch requires only 3 simple ingredients. Here’s how you can make tea from the cedar leaves in your backyard.

Collect cedar leaves


You want to harvest fresh cedar leaves from your tree, making sure to only gather as much as you need. You can do this by directly taking the leaves off the branches, or by cutting off the smaller branches. Make sure that you are, in fact, collecting cedar leaves and not similar-looking leaves, such as junipers.

Boil water

In a pot, place the fresh cedar leaves into the boiling water, and let them soak until the water becomes golden brown. You may decide to dump the first batch of boiled water and make a second one, since the first batch sometimes collects the dirt particles from the leaves.

Add sweetness

The cedar leaf tends to be on the more bitter side, so, for many people, adding a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup makes the drink more enjoyable. But if you’re someone who likes drinking their coffee black, then you might enjoy the tea as is.

So, the next time you’re at the cottage, or even at home, and are feeling up for a new drink, go outside, harvest some cedar leaves, and let your body enjoy some soothing cedar tea.
