Product Description

Historically tied to themes of endurance and immortality, the Mediterranean cypress—often seen in the swirling landscapes of Van Gogh—produces an oil renowned for its stabilizing effects. Known as a “live forever” botanical, Cypress Essential Oil is a powerful ally during times of transition, helping to steady the mind and calm intense emotions.

Physically, it acts as a potent vasoconstrictor and astringent. It is frequently used to manage conditions involving excess fluid, from respiratory congestion and heavy perspiration to circulatory support for varicose veins. Its soothing properties also make it a popular choice for easing muscular tension and joint discomfort.

Directions for Use

• Vaporization: Add 3–5 drops to a diffuser to soothe the respiratory system or to create a calm, focused environment during emotional upheaval.

• Topical Application: Dilute with a carrier oil (such as Sweet Almond or Grapeseed) at a 2–3% ratio before applying to the skin. Massage into areas of muscular cramp or over joints to ease rheumatic pain.

• Cold Compress: Add 2 drops of diluted oil to a cold compress to help manage localized issues like nosebleeds or minor inflammation.

• Bath: Mix 3–5 drops with a dispersant (like bath salts or oil) to assist with fluid retention and circulation.

Safety Note: For external use only. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant or nursing.
