Cypress Oil is obtained from Cupressus sempervirens. Cypress is the name applied to many plants, which is a conifer of northern temperate regions. Most they are trees, while a few are shrubs. Cypress oil has a woody, slightly spicy and refreshing masculine smell. The oil is colorless to very pale yellow in color and watery in viscosity. The main components of cypress oil are A-pinene, camphene, sabinene, B-pinene, D-3carene, myrcene, a-terpinene, terpinolene, linalool, bornyl acetate, cedrol and cadinene. Cypress oil has a calming and soothing effect on the irritable, angry and stressed-out person and has a valuable effect as a vasoconstrictor on varicose veins and hemorrhoids. It is beneficial in conditions of excess fluid, such as bleeding, nosebleeds, heavy menstruation, heavy perspiration, cough and bronchitis, hemorrhages and fluid retention. The antis pasmodic action is very useful for asthma, whooping cough, bronchitis, emphysema and influenza.
