Cypress Essential Oil

​Do you have any experience using Cypress essential oil? This is a wonderful one when we think about supporting the cardiovascular system. This oil comes from the cypress evergreen tree which is native to southern Europe and Western Asia. 

It has been shown to have a variety of medicinal and botanical features. With a clean, fresh & woody scent this oil blends really nicely with citrus oils like lemon or grapefruit.

Cypress essential oil has been proven to improve circulation and has also been used to support respiratory conditions like asthma.

It’s safe to use cypress oil aromatically and topically. When applying the oil to the skin, I always recommend diluting it with a carrier oil, such as coconut, olive or jojoba oil, before rubbing it into the skin.

If you’re an avid runner, try rubbing it only your legs before or after your next run for a relaxing effect.

Cypress is also very grounding, and therefore can be helpful during times of stress – which in turn helps the functioning of the cardiovascular system. ​Try diffusing with wild orange essential oil before settling down for bed, or the next time you're feeling stressed.
