Organic cypress essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from the Italian or Mediterranean cypress. The oil is obtained from the needles and twigs of the young branches of these trees, which became famous through the paintings of Van Gogh. It is said that cypress essential oil calms strong emotions such as anger and is therefore useful during major life changes.

This essential oil acts as a vasoconstrictor and helps with varicose veins and hemorrhoids. It is believed to work well to relieve all conditions of excess fluid, such as heavy menstruation, excessive sweating, cough, bronchitis, bleeding and water retention. This oil relieves muscle spasms, helps regulate the menstrual cycle and relieves arthritis and rheumatic pain. Use this oil in a vaporizer to calm the mind, as well as for respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis and whooping cough. It can be used diluted in a cold compress to stop nosebleeds.

In Greek mythology, the cypress is considered a tree of mourning and for this reason is often planted in cemeteries. It is also associated with the god of the underworld, Hades. The Phoenicians and Cretans used the wood of this tree to build ships and houses. The Egyptians made sarcophagi from it and the Greeks carved statues of their gods from it. Legend has it that the cross of Jesus Christ was made from this wood, another reason why cypress is associated with death. Ironically, the botanical name of the cypress is derived from the Greek ‘Sempervirens’, which means ‘to live forever’.
