Cypress Essential Oil (Cupressus Sempervirens) Cypress essential oil has been used
since ancient times for purification and as incense. Cypress is one of the
oils most used for the circulatory system. Because it assists in moving stagnant
matter, it actually assists many systems of the body: circulatory, digestive,
urinary, and skin. It helps with cellulite, varicose veins,
hemorrhoids, fluid retention, constipation, edema, excessive perspiration, and hand
and feet sweating. It is also effective for muscles and joints, the
respiratory system, the reproductive system, and the nervous system. * Most essential oils work best when blended
with each other. The right combination will enhance the effects and power of the
essential oils. For some basic "oil recipes", check out our Recipe page or visit

Cypress Testimonials
"I am 49 and have had a desk job for 10 years. One day some months ago I started having
pain from behind my knee down my leg. I went home looked in my desk reference and put Cypress on neet,
as it is good for the circulation. I was better in 1 application and by the 3rd application the pain was gone.
I now usually put cypress on as I get out of the shower and I only have problems if I forget to put the Cypress on for a few days."
"My husband had shoulder surgery several years ago and the doctor said he had a combination of calcium deposits, bursitis,
and a bone spur all in the same shoulder. They apparently took care of all these with the surgery. He had several shots of
cortisone before the surgery.
He has recently been complaining about a pain in the other shoulder and wonders whether he will have to resort to the same procedure.
Well, I am into natural healing now! The other day he hung a new chandelier for us and really strained his shoulder and complained of
severe pain from his neck all the way to his wrist. That night I massaged his shoulder with cypress and balsam fir and the next
morning his pain was 90% better. Another treatment the following night took care of the pain for good. I do not believe he needs surgery!
I am quite enjoying my role of natural healer in my family!"
