Cypress Essential Oil

Description

Cypress essential oil is steam-distilled from the twigs, stems, and leaves of the Cupressus sempervirens tree, an evergreen conifer native to the Mediterranean. Known for its fresh, woody, balsamic aroma with slightly smoky undertones, it has been valued since ancient times in rituals, medicine, and perfumery.

The oil is often associated with strength, renewal, and grounding energy. In aromatherapy, it is widely used for respiratory health, circulation, emotional balance, and skin support.
