The main (medicinal) purpose of the cedar, from what I've been told is that it is a medicinal medicine that can be ingested (drank) in a tea form but also, just the vapors of the cedar can help with those respiratory issues. Cedar (in this time of Covid) is one of those medicines that a lot of people are picking up (just) to boil so that good medicine is in the steam form (within our homes). Also, as a tea to help build up the immunity in your body to help fight viruses (IE: Covid).
You can also bath in Cedar which is a good way to help with those kinds of ailments and sicknesses. Cedar helped with scurvy upon contact with the Non-Indigenous population
who were dying from diseases such as scurvy. It was the Indigenous people that introduced them (Non Indigenous population) to Cedar and help them survive (I guess).
