Cedar Syrups – A Simple, Nourishing Addition
These syrups are made using water extracts of spring cedar greens, often called cedar “paws.” At their core are naturally occurring polysaccharides and flavonoids — compounds that support the body in quiet but important ways. Polysaccharides, in particular, play a role in strengthening blood vessels and supporting the renewal and structure of cell membranes throughout the body, including the nervous system.
Research on Cedar Syrup
Research from scientists in Yekaterinburg has shown that regular use of aqueous cedar greenery extracts may support overall resilience. There is a noted tendency toward improved blood composition, including an increase in phagocytes, which help the body respond to viral and bacterial challenges. The extract is also associated with supporting the immune system and helping to stabilize the nervous system.
More About It
To complement the cedar base, natural extracts such as lingonberry and rosehip are added. These not only give the syrups their gentle, pleasant flavour but also provide a familiar source of vitamins and trace elements. Rosehip, in particular, is known for its high vitamin content, including vitamin C, as well as B vitamins and important minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron.
The syrups are available in a few variations, including classic cedar, cedar with propolis, and blends with rosehip, cranberry, or lingonberry.
In terms of use, they are simple to incorporate into everyday routines. One or two teaspoons can be added to a cup of tea, water, or even a cold drink once or twice a day. They also work beautifully with food, stirred into porridge, added to desserts, or used to bring a subtle depth to sauces and creams.
The syrup itself is a dark, viscous liquid with a naturally sweet taste and a mild, pleasant aroma. It’s made from cedar needle and twig extracts, rosehip and lingonberry extracts, and purified water.
No side effects have been identified, and it’s an easy way to add something both traditional and nourishing into daily life.
