Latin Name: Cupressus Sempervirens. Part Of Plant Used: Needles & Twigs. Source: Spain. Extraction Method: Steam Distillation. Cypress essential oil is extracted through steam distillation from the needles and twigs of young branches of the Italian or Mediterranean cypress tree. Known for its association with Van Gogh's paintings, this oil is believed to calm intense emotions, such as anger, making it helpful during significant life changes. Cypress oil acts as a vasoconstrictor, aiding in conditions like varicose veins and hemorrhoids. It is also effective for managing issues related to excess fluid, such as heavy menstruation, excessive sweating, cough, bronchitis, hemorrhage, and fluid retention. The oil can soothe muscle cramps, regulate the menstrual cycle, and ease arthritis or rheumatic pain. Using this oil in a vaporizer can calm the mind and help with respiratory issues like asthma, bronchitis, and whooping cough. It can also be applied in dilution as a cold compress to stop nosebleeds. Cypress trees have a deep historical and mythological significance. In Greek mythology, they are considered mourning trees, often planted in cemeteries, and are linked to Hades, the god of the underworld. The wood was used by the Phoenicians and Cretans for building ships and houses, while the Egyptians crafted sarcophagi from it. The Greeks carved statues of their gods from cypress wood. According to legend, the cross of Jesus Christ was made from this wood, further connecting the tree to death. Interestingly, the botanical name "Sempervirens," meaning "live forever," reflects a symbolic connection to life and eternity.
