I began studying the lore of New Mexico
mountain cedar while hiking through the aromatic forests of New Mexico's
high country.

I learned about the herbal and medicinal qualities of
green cedar from the Navajo and Hopi, and from Nature herself. Of
course, cedar is not new; ancient healers have known and used its
therapeutic properties for thousands of years. In some cultures, the
cedar is a sacred tree, and burning cedar needles as incense evokes
mythical memories. Cedar has more down-to-earth uses as well. For
generations families have used it to give their homes a clean,
refreshing scent and to keep insects away from clothing and other
stored treasures. Cedar absorbs odors, instead of just covering them
up. |
As I studied native cultures, I began
giving away little pouches of green cedar needles. Everyone asked for
more, and Clear Light - The Cedar Company was born. It struck a responsive
chord in those who took the time to savor life. Today I still watch over
the harvest, making sure it is done to my own exacting standards. The
needles are picked at exactly the right moment, leaving the trees healthy
and happy, and cured only long enough to preserve their clean, everlasting
fragrance. My unique method of collecting and curing green cedar needles
enhances and preserves their tangy aroma.
