Cypress Introduction

      It is at present registered as a cosmetic excipient for fragrancing, although we have good reasons to believe that it has significant therapeutic potential as an antiphlogistic and antiviral. It is an excellent fixative and base note in perfumery applications, and adds a subtle woody note to fragrances.

      The woody, spicy, clear, and refreshing scent of Cypress is distilled from the leaves and cones of an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean. In Greek and Roman mythology Cypress was dedicated to the God of the underworlds. Even today, it is planted in cemeteries.

      Clinical practice of aromatherapy is showing that when Cypress is diffused it has the ability to help in difficult times of change, comforting grief, resolving psychic blocks, and bringing calm to an overburdened nervous system.

      Added to massage oil, cypress is important in the treatment of hemorrhoids and varicose veins. It is also good for spasmodic coughs, excessive blood loss, and diarrhea. For hair and skin care Cypress is an astringent and deodorant.
