Beauty Benefits
Cypress oil is highly astringent and is therefore primarily used for oily skin, hair and scalp treatments. It has both a deodorizing action and helps control excessive bodily secretions, making it an excellent deodorant. Broken capillaries and varicose veins respond well to cypress. It also makes an effective treatment for cellulite because it strengthens weak connective tissues and releases toxins.
Emotional Benefits
Cypress oil calms an overloaded mind and helps revitalize a stressed out nervous system. It’s soothes upset emotions and gives strength and endurance in times of great change, loss, grief or mourning.
Therapeutic Actions
Cypress oil acts as a styptic and is ideal for stopping the bleeding of minor nicks and cuts. It relieves pain and muscle spasms, and helps control excessive bodily secretions.
