Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Atlantic Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) has been used in some traditional and folk medicine systems, primarily in North Africa and parts of Europe, for various ailments. However, its use specifically as a remedy for addiction or substance dependence is not prominent in major ethnobotanical or traditional medical literature. Some sources mention that cedarwood (including Atlantic Cedar) essential oil has been used for its calming properties and to support emotional balance, which could theoretically be supportive in addiction recovery contexts, particularly in aromatherapy. These uses, however, are not grounded in robust traditional frameworks for treating addiction specifically, but rather in broader claims of promoting relaxation or stress relief. There is currently no scientific evidence or clinical studies validating the use of Atlantic Cedar in the treatment or management of addiction. Most references to its application in addiction are anecdotal or speculative, lacking rigorous documentation in either traditional or scientific sources. Therefore, while there may be minimal traditional use for general calming effects, the evidence base for its application in addiction is extremely limited.
