Himalayan Cedar Powder (Devadaram Podi) – A Natural Ayurvedic Remedy for Skin, Inflammation & Nervous Health

At Herbolaya, we bring you the pure essence of the Himalayas with our Himalayan Cedar Powder, traditionally known as Devadaram Podi. Sourced from the majestic Cedrus deodara trees found in the higher altitudes of the Indian subcontinent, this potent herbal powder is revered in Ayurveda and Siddha medicine for its powerful ability to purify, heal, and restore balance to the body and mind.

What is Devadaram?

Devadaram—meaning “divine tree” in Sanskrit—is a sacred Himalayan cedar with aromatic wood and powerful medicinal benefits. Its heartwood, bark, oil, and paste have been traditionally used to treat a wide range of health concerns, particularly those related to the skin, nervous system, joints, and metabolism.

This herb thrives at altitudes of 1200 to 3000 meters, where the cold mountain air contributes to its rich therapeutic value.

Key Health Benefits of Himalayan Cedar Powder

Natural Skin Cleanser & Antiseptic

Himalayan cedar contains strong antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it a powerful remedy for chronic skin diseases, including eczema, fungal infections, wounds, and ulcers.

Supports Nervous System & Brain Health

Rich in antioxidants, Devadaram helps combat oxidative stress and supports mental clarity, focus, and nervous system function.

Relieves Inflammation & Joint Pain

Its anti-inflammatory action helps soothe joint pain, swelling, and Vata-related disorders such as constipation, bloating, and even paralysis.

Respiratory & Detox Benefits

Devadaram acts as a natural expectorant, helping to clear respiratory blockages and support better breathing. Its diaphoretic and diuretic properties assist in detoxification and maintaining urinary health.

Tones Skin & Improves Complexion

Cedarwood powder and oil are used to tighten skin tissues, reduce puffiness, and brighten the complexion. Regular application helps rejuvenate dull or sagging skin.
