Docta’s Notes

Cypress oil is known for its ability to support the respiratory system. Its antimicrobial properties can help clear congestion and alleviate symptoms of coughs and colds – Cypress is phenomenal blended with other respiratory promoting oils such as Silver Fir, Eucalyptus or Pine. Diffusing the oil or inhaling it through steam inhalation can provide relief.  The oil possesses calming properties that may help alleviate stress. Cypress woody, slightly spicy aroma can have a grounding effect, promoting relaxation and emotional balance when used in aromatherapy.

Cypress oil is believed to stimulate blood flow and promote circulation. When diluted in a carrier oil, it can be used in massages to ease muscle cramps, spasms, and improve overall blood circulation. With its astringent and antimicrobial qualities, cypress oil can assist in maintaining skin health. It’s often included in skincare products to help tone the skin, control oiliness, and support wound healing.
