Several scientific studies show that hospital patients with views of natural environments have a faster and better recovery.
At its birth, this cedar witnessed how the city of Aranda was ravaged by cholera epidemics, and it was able to see from a privileged position the titanic struggle of the health workers in the hospital to try to keep the disease at bay.
Cedar has been used throughout history to combat asthma and also to eliminate intestinal parasites. It is also attributed with relaxing effects, which is why it was often used in baths or ingested orally.
The preservation of these natural gems is everyone’s responsibility. Respect your environment 🙂
