Cypress (Himalayan)

Cypress trees are evergreens that grow in Libya, Greece, Turkey, Iran, India, Lebanon, Australia, and Cypress. Found most commonly in valleys, woodlands, and coastal mountains, this powerful tree grows up to 98 feet tall.

The ancient Egyptians and Greeks once burned Cypress essential oil in their incense. It’s easy to imagine a Greek temple filling with the woody smell of cypress mingled with the aromas of other essential oils.

Cyprus is used to detoxify the body, relieve pain, and strengthen the respiratory system. It has calming properties, and can be used to prevent a sore throat. Diffuse our Himalayan Cypress and breathe deeply, visualizing all the healing that is happening in your body.
