Cupressus sempervirens and Cupressus lusitanica

Cypress essential oil dōTERRA | 15 ml

Cypress essential oil dōTERRA | 15 ml

Cypress essential oil is the oil of spas and massage therapists, for those who prefer a fresh, woody aroma to a floral note. It brings together two species grown in Kenya, Cupressus sempervirens and Cupressus lusitanica, and is distilled from their leaves, which hold the oil rather than the wood.

On the skin, it is the oil for oily skin: one or two drops in your morning toner reduce the look of shine, and diluted, it also soothes dry areas. Its invigorating aroma goes with exertion, massaged into the legs and feet before a long run, then with winding down, one drop in a warm bath with Epsom salts. At home, two drops on a warm cloth clean surfaces.

An oil for the skin and for exercise, that smells of forest rather than garden.

Interesting fact

In Kenya, cypress is planted as fencing or windbreaks, and its wood cannot be sold for twenty to thirty years. The lower branches, pruned so the tree grows straight, provide the oil and an income for farmers in the meantime.
