Organic cypress oil is steam distilled from the needles and twigs of Cupressus sempervirens. It has a fresh and pungent evergreen aroma, with balsamic undertones and is used for focus and healthy breathing. Cypress has been used for thousands of years as a cleansing incense for several Nepalese and Tibetan cultures. Cypress trees were planted outside of temples and burial grounds by the Greeks and Romans. Cypress essential oil blends well with cedarwood, lemon, pine, benzoin, and chamomile oils.
