Cypress Essential Oil 10 ml

This alluring Cypress Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the Italian or Mediterranean cypress. Extracting the aromatic oil from its needles and twigs of young branches, this tree became synonymous with the iconic artworks of Van Gogh. Purported to help soothe strong emotions, like anger and anxiety, it also works as a vasoconstrictor to manage varicose veins and haemorrhoids. It can help regulate the menstrual cycle, ease arthritis and rheumatic pain, and soothe muscular cramps. Use it in a vaporiser for calming the mind and respiratory discomfort, such as asthma and whooping cough. Dilute it in a cold compress to put a stop to nosebleeds. Greek mythology links the cypress tree to mourning and the god of the underworld, Hades, making it common for cemeteries. The Phoenicians and Cretans used it for building ships and houses, and Egyptians made sarcophagi out of its wood
