                        All About Cypress

                        Fun Fact

                        These very tall trees can grow to a height towering over 100 feet!

                        Cypress Research

                        Cypress has been used as a folk remedy for coughing and respiratory conditions. Studies have demonstrated antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-diabetic, anti-ulcer, and antioxidant actions. Further, some studies have suggested immune stimulating activity, hepatoprotection, and insecticidal, repelling, and herbicidal actions. A few human studies have found myrtol, a constituent in cypress, to aid in resperatory complaints. Its aroma in combination with other essential oils has been anxiolytic.

                        Family: Cupressaceae

                        Other Common Names / Variations

                        • Also known as: Italian or Mediterranean cypress.
                        • There are multiple other species of cypress with very different chemical constituents.

                        Plant Description

                        Cypress is an evergreen tree with grey green needles and small cones native to Sourthern Europe and Western Asia.

                        Herb Description

                        Leaves and branches have been used to make tinctures, poultices, extracts, and more.

                        Essential Oil Description

                        Leaves and branches from the Italian variety are steam distilled at a low pressure to create a non-oily quick drying oil that is clear to pale yellow and has a sandalwood-like creamy woody aroma.
