cypress: february featured oil

Promoting vitality and boosting energetic feelings, Cypress essential oil can be used for its aromatic and topical benefits as it promotes vitality and boosts energetic feelings.

Cypress is steam distilled from the leaf of this tall, evergreen tree. It may be used aromatically and topically with no dilution necessary. Our favorite brand, see below, is sourced from Crete.

aromatic influences

Aromatically, the clean, fresh aroma of Cypress offers an invigorating and grounding effect on the emotions. Cypress is often the go-to oil to diffuse during times of difficult transition or loss.

topical benefits - a spa in a bottle

It is composed of monoterpenes, which can help improve the appearance of oily skin. Because of the rejuvenating aroma and skin benefits of Cypress, it is commonly used in spas and by massage therapists. Cypress can also give the body an energizing lift when applied topically.

chemistry

The chemical structure of Cypress essential oil also contributes to its renewing and uplifting fragrance. Its three main chemical components are α-pinene, carene, and limonene. Both limonene and α-pinene are part of the monoterpenes group and offer strong uplifting characteristics. α-pinene is also well known for its powerful renewing properties.

only only the best essential oils

Essential oils have been used since ancient times. Today, they are being rediscovered and are used in everything from aromatic blends to provide emotional balance, to boost the benefits of skin and haircare products, and even in healthy recipes to support every system of our bodies: immune, cardiovascular, digestive, hormonal, muscles and bones, respiratory, nervous system, . . . (did I miss anything?)

But essential oils are not all created equal. When the plants are grown in their natural environment, nurtured by skilled artisan farmers, harvested in optimal conditions and at just the right time, and then rigorously tested for purity, potency, and and efficacy . . .

the plants produce potent essential oils with powerful therapeutic benefits. When these essential oils are rigorously tested for purity, potency, and efficacy by a trusted source, they are precious gifts of nature.
