The Indians of the Southwest not only used the fruit of the Juniperus monosperma, but the leaves and the wood as well - and not just as a medicinal herb. In fact, the dried wood when burned gives off a fragrant smoke, which some Native American peoples use to ritually purify the air in religious ceremonies.

Among Native Americans, herbs such as cedar berries have been used for centuries to relive the symptoms of arthritis and respiratory ailments.
