Description
In ancient times the Phoenicians and Cretans used cypress wood to build houses and ships, and the Egyptians used it for sarcophagi. The Greeks carved statues of their gods from cypress wood. Its botanical name comes from ancient Greek and means “ever-living”. Cypresses are often cited in art and literature as symbols of death. Legend has it that the cross on which Christ was crucified was made of cypress.
Despite its somewhat mournful symbolism, the cypress is also well known for the aromatic oil obtained from it. Cypress oil is known to be effective against infections, to help the respiratory system, to remove toxins from the body and to act as a stimulant for anxiety.
The young twigs, needle-like leaves and cones are steam-distilled to produce pure cypress oil with a refreshing aroma. It contains monoterpenes, which make it useful for oily skin. A few drops added to a clay mask restore a disturbed balance.
A 2004 study found that a component of cypress oil called camphene inhibited the growth of 9 bacteria and all the fungi included in the study.
Some components of the oil, such as cosmosiin, caffeic acid and p-coumaric acid, show a protective effect on the liver. There are results confirming the antioxidant properties of cypress oil, which help remove toxins and free radicals.
Cypress oil relieves muscle pain, acts as a natural deodorant, improves carpal tunnel syndrome, helps with trembling legs, has antibacterial and antiseptic properties, minimises and strengthens varicose veins, reduces cellulite, acts as a diuretic and relieves anxiety.
