Cedars of Lebanon Bath & Spa
The cedar of Lebanon, the “King" of all Biblical trees, is a huge evergreen tree, by Middle Eastern standards, reaching 90 feet in height. They grow in cold, high mountainous regions. The wood is astonishingly decay resistant and it is never eaten by insect larvae. It is beautifully majestic and red-toned with deep green leaves. The tree bark is dark gray and exudes a gum of balsam which has a strong fragrant odor. The gum oils are volatile and in the early growth of the tree yield a slightly greenish resin which becomes red-like in color at maturity. It is from this resin that the highly aromatic oils are produced.
