Juniperus oxycedrus
A Mediterranean juniper whose wood distillation produces cade oil used for psoriasis and eczema.
Juniperus oxycedrus, a Mediterranean juniper, yields cade oil through wood distillation, traditionally used for psoriasis and eczema. Its active compounds include cadinene, guaiacol, phenols, and terpenes, which contribute to its topical anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Modern evidence (Level C) supports its use in dermatological preparations at 5-10% concentration.
Cade oil exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Phenolic compounds like guaiacol and cadinene modulate cytokine release (e.g., TNF-α, IL-1β) and scavenge reactive oxygen species, mitigating oxidative stress in psoriatic lesions. Terpenes enhance skin penetration and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, a common secondary pathogen in eczema.
