History of Cedar wood
Cedarwood has been used throughout the ages by numerous races. The early Europeans used cedarwood oil to help heal the sick and to prevent outbreaks of disease. Europeans used cedarwood oil to cure indigestion, flatulence, leprosy, bubonic plague, smallpox and fever. In the 17th century, English herbalist Nicholas Culpeper, had observed that cedarwood oil was a remedy for heart failure, coughs, shortness of breath, tuberculosis and menstruation. The American Indians seemed to have used cedarwood oil for almost any health condition.
Thus, through out history, cedarwood oil has been used by a variety of cultures, in different ways to prevent or cure illnesses. This was all done without the scientific knowledge to understand the theory and chemical composition of cedarwood. Therefore, trial and error must have been used to determine the effect the oil would have on an individual illness.

Tree of Exceptional Beauty
CedarWestern Red Cedar has a uniform and fine-grained texture combined with a palette of warm, mellow tones ranging from light amber to deep honey brown. Its rich color is beautifully complemented by a natural satin luster no man-made material can duplicate. Adding another dimension to its beauty is its unique fragrance. Its subtle aroma and genuine beauty give Western Red Cedar a universal appeal unsurpassed by other softwoods. Tree of Durability
Red CedarWestern Red Cedar produces natural oil and extractives that act as preservatives to protect the wood from insect attacks and decay-causing fungi. Its ability to produce such preservatives increases with age, allowing the wood to withstand years of usage in sound condition. In addition, Western Red Cedar is a dimensionally stable wood that lies flat and stays straight. Compared to other common woods, it boasts very low shrinkage value, which makes it suitable for a variety of uses in high-moisture areas such as saunas. Tree of Practicality
CedarBeauty aside, the Western Red Cedar's cellular structure creates interior air spaces that give it an insulation value higher than most woods. Buildings, which feature cedar paneling, ceiling, or siding, tend to stay warmer in the winter. Therefore, the cedar interior and exterior of our Health Mate Infrared Sauna provide an additional level of natural thermal insulation for the pre-insulated panels. Western Red Cedar also has excellent sound suppression and absorption qualities, creating a very comfortable and private ambience for Health Mate Infrared Sauna users.
Safety of Cedar wood
Cedar wood has been used from 3000~4000 years ago to prevent or cure illnesses. Any kind of wood including cedar wood might be harmful if its wood dust is inhaled by an enormous amount in a closed space such as a saw mill or a wood factory. But the normal use of a sauna made with cedar wood is safe to the human body. No case has been reported to any government agencies or research institutions throughout the world regarding the health problems related to using a cedar wood sauna.<o:p>
