Botanical Name: Cupressus sempervirens Botanical Family: Cupressaceae
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Needles and Twigs
· Aroma Note: Middle
The Cypress tree is a tall, conical evergreen that has long been a symbol of mourning and immortality in the Mediterranean. The essential oil is clear to pale yellow with a refreshing, woody, and slightly smoky aroma. It is known for its remarkable "astringent" quality—it is the oil to turn to whenever there is a need to "constrict" or "stem the flow," whether that be physical or emotional.
Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Astringent, Deodorant, Diuretic, Haemostatic, Hepatic, Styptic, Sudorific, Tonic (vascular), Vasoconstrictor.
· Skin: Excessive perspiration, oily and over-hydrated skin, open pores, and hemorrhoids. It is a powerful toner that helps to firm the skin.
· Respiratory: Asthma, bronchitis, spasmodic coughing, and whooping cough. Its antispasmodic action helps to soothe sudden coughing fits.
· Circulatory/Muscular: Cellulite, edema, poor circulation, rheumatism, and varicose veins. It is one of the best oils for strengthening the capillary walls and moving stagnant fluids.
· Genito-Urinary: Heavy or painful periods (menorrhagia) and menopausal problems. It helps to regulate the menstrual cycle.
· Nervous System: Nervous tension and stress-related conditions. It provides a cooling, stabilizing effect on the nerves.
Cypress is the "Oil of Transition." It provides comfort and strength during times of major life changes, such as bereavement, moving house, or changing careers. It helps to clear out emotional clutter and encourages the soul to "flow" forward when feeling stuck in the past or overwhelmed by grief.
1. Varicose Vein Support: Dilute 2 drops of Cypress in a teaspoon of carrier oil and very lightly apply to the affected area, stroking upwards toward the heart (never massage directly on prominent veins) to support circulation.
2. Natural Deodorant Foot Rub: For sweaty feet, mix 3 drops with a small amount of witch hazel or lotion and rub into the soles of the feet each morning to control perspiration and odor.
3. Spasmodic Cough Relief: Place 1–2 drops on a tissue and inhale deeply during a coughing fit to help calm the bronchial tubes and ease the urge to cough.
The "Fluidity & Flow" Blend Massage into areas of cellulite or swelling to encourage lymphatic drainage
· 4 drops Cypress
· 3 drops Juniper Berry
· 3 drops Lemon
Bergamot, Cedarwood, Clary Sage, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Lemon, Mandarin, Orange, Pine, Rosemary, and Sandalwood.
Generally non-toxic, non-irritant, and non-sensitizing. However, because it has such a strong effect on the circulatory system and hormone regulation, it is best to avoid use during pregnancy.
