Description
Cupressus sempervirens
Cypress Essential Oil is steam distilled from the needles and twigs of the cypress tree. It possesses a fresh, clean, woody aroma with subtle smoky and evergreen undertones. Just a drop or two of Cypress Essential Oil can add a refreshing, forest-like note to any blend while providing powerful astringent and circulation-supporting benefits.
Cypress Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser and inhaler blends intended to help ease respiratory congestion, coughs, and bronchitis. It is valued for its astringent and circulation-stimulating properties and is often used in diluted topical applications to help support venous circulation, reduce fluid retention, ease muscle cramps, and support oily or blemished skin. Cypress is also beneficial for excessive perspiration.
Emotionally, Cypress Essential Oil is grounding and comforting, helping to ease anxiety, provide support during times of transition or grief, release emotional blockages, and promote feelings of calm, clarity, and emotional strength.
