Cypress Essential Oils

Cypress essential oil has its primary use as a support for the circulatory system, blood and lymph flow. It has a warm, woody and slightly spicy aroma, and will be familiar to many being often used in men’s toiletries such as aftershaves.

• Cypress essential oil has an antiseptic and detoxifying effect and it can help to deodorise and reduce perspiration.
• It can be used in a massage blend to support the removal of excess fluid in the body, where it blends especially well with juniper.
• It is refreshing, uplifting, toning, astringent and cooling. Use it in massage blends, bath oils, steam inhalation and room fragrancing.
• Cypress blends beautifully with cedar, orange, and lavender.
