Cade (Juniperus oxycedrus) grows in the garrigues of southern France, Spain and Greece. Traditional cade oil is obtained by pyrolysis (slow combustion) of the wood -- an ancestral method. Provencal and Catalan shepherds used it for centuries to treat sheep scab. In folk medicine, it treated psoriasis, eczema and scalp conditions. The scent -- smoky, tarry, animalic -- is immediately recognizable.
Rich in delta-cadinene and alpha-cadinol, sesquiterpenes that are powerfully anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory for the skin. Compared to common juniper (more diuretic), cade is specifically dermatological. Its smoky scent radically differentiates it. A specialist essential oil for stubborn skin problems -- psoriasis, dry eczema, seborrheic dermatitis.
