Cedar soap from Kala: "Kala's Cedar Wood Bar Soap promotes a sense of grounding with its warm, woody aroma. The word Cedras means 'power' symbolized by the golden axe of the Cedar Wood Soap. Used by Sumerians, Egyptians, Tibetans and Native Americans for its aromatic effect on the mind and spirit, cedar wood oil (Cedras Atlantica) extracted from the bark brings on the release of toxins and promotes circulation." $8.50 for 164g at Smallflower.
