Cypress, Cupressus sempervirens,Essential Oil

$9.00
Title:
1 dram(1/6 oz.)

Cypress essential oil has been historically used for calming and reducing the appearance of varicose veins. It has been used as a deodorant with a sweet balsamic scent. Historically, it helps reduce oily skin. It has a light pine aroma and is also used as an insect repellent.

Mentally, cypress is believed to be grounding and enhance concentration and reduce absent mindedness. Use it as a low note in aromatherapy, adding it first to the blend.

The myth of cypress: Cypresses is grieving the death of his favorite animal. He asked Apollo to let his tears fall forever. Apollo turns him into a cypress tree with sap forming like droplets of tears from the trunk.

Cypress blends well with lavender, bergamot, lime, juniper and clary sage. I like to blend cypress with sweet orange and/ or bitter orange.
