Incense Cedar Hydrosol

$25.00

For Grounding, Protective Presence & Ancestral Connection

Warm, resinous, and quietly powerful, Incense Cedar (Calocedrus decurrens) opens with the scent of a high-Sierra forest—spicy wood, crisp winter air, and the bright citrus edge of freshly split cedar. Its aroma evokes the stillness of Yosemite Valley itself, where incense cedar stands as one of the region’s defining trees. Mist it, and you’re carried to shaded groves, sunlit granite, and the steady presence of ancient trunks rising from the forest floor.

Incense Cedar is an ally for grounding and energetic protection—an aromatic companion when you feel scattered, overstimulated, or in need of a clear boundary. Its scent settles the body, sharpens focus, and creates a sense of calm cohesion, like leaning your back against a tree that has witnessed centuries.

This tree also holds deep cultural and spiritual meaning for the Southern Sierra Miwuk people, who call it mo:nok. For generations, they turned to incense cedar for cleansing, healing, and ceremonial protection. Its leaves and wood are burned to purify spaces; its smoke carried prayers to ancestors; its boughs line sacred structures; and its medicine support those navigating grief, stress, or imbalance. Cedar is considered a guardian—one that restores harmony, protects the spirit, and links the living world with the unseen.
