What is cedar resin, and why is it in the balm? — CEDAR RESIN BALM 5% 100ML - Altai Specialist (Edible oil) ( zhivitsa kedrovaja)

Cedar resin is a natural resin secreted by a conifer tree. In Siberian tradition it has long been used as a food and household product. In this balm it acts as the active component with a pronounced resinous, piny taste and aroma — it is the resin that gives the product its distinctive ‘taiga’ character.

The base of the balm is unrefined cold-pressed cedar oil. It serves as a carrier: the oily texture helps the resin spread evenly and makes the product gentler when taken by mouth. The resin concentration in this version is 5% — enough for a distinctive taste, but not too intense for those who are just getting acquainted with this category of products.

It is important to understand that the balm is a food product with a traditional herbal profile, not a medicinal product. It is not intended to treat or prevent any disease. If you have chronic conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medicines, consult a specialist before adding it to your diet.
