Cypress Essential Oil 10 ml

Cypress Essential Oil has a fresh, green, resinous-woody scent of Mediterranean hillsides — invigorating and calming at the same time.

In Greek mythology the cypress was considered a mourning tree, and it is still often grown in cemeteries. It was associated with Hades, god of the underworld, and legend says the cross of Jesus Christ was made from its wood.

The oil is obtained by steam distillation of the needles and twigs of young branches of the Italian, or Mediterranean, cypress. Its scent is often described as calming — ideal for moments when you need to cool down and gain some perspective.

How to use cypress essential oil

• in a diffuser or oil burner — for a fresh, forest atmosphere at home or at work,
• for a leg and shoulder massage after an active day — diluted in a carrier oil,
• in a homemade room spray or wardrobe sachets,
• in blends with lavender, citrus or frankincense.

Volume: 10 ml.

Directions
Diffuser or oil burner: a few drops. On skin: always diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba or coconut).

Caution
Do not swallow. Always dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin and patch test first: apply a drop of the diluted oil to the inner forearm — if any reaction appears within 24 hours, do not use on skin. Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical care, consult your doctor. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
