Description
Derived from the branches of the tall evergreen tree, Cypress
essential oil has a fresh, clean aroma that’s energizing and refreshing.
Cypress is frequently used in spas and by massage therapists. Cypress
can be diffused or inhaled directly, but should not be swallowed or
taken internally. Cypress contains monoterpenes, making it beneficial
for oily skin conditions. It has a grounding, yet stimulating effect on
the emotions, making it a popular oil to diffuse during times of
transition or loss.
Uses
- Prior to a long run, apply to feet and legs for an energizing boost.
- Apply two to three drops to chest before gardening to promote vitality and energy.
- Diffuse with Lime essential oil for an invigorating scent.
