BACKGROUND

Cypress has a long history of use as a construction material due to the durability of its wood, and it was used by the Phoenicians and Cretans to build ships and bows and by the Egyptians to build sarcophagi. Its botanical name, Cupressus sempervirens, is derived from the Greek “sempervivum,” or “live forever.

The oil is steam distilled from the branches of the plant to produce an incredible essential oil!

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT WITH CYPRESS

Cypress is calming and grounding and wonderful for releasing stored emotions. It helps ease feelings of loss and creates a sense of security. It helps to heal emotional trauma, calms the body, relieves anger and just helps life flow better.

This is a great oil to diffuse for any kiddos having trouble with transitions, new schools, big changes. It is helpful when dealing with emotional trauma and anger.

Cypress also helps with these seasonal feelings. Diffuse or wear as perfume for the following:

• Grief and loss
• Insecurity in relationships
• Worry

Cypress also helps the body detox naturally and promotes production of leukocytes (white blood cells) which boosts the body’s natural defenses during wintertime. Emotional health is directly affected by how we feel physically and Cypress helps with that.

• Rub on wrists and feet to keep up energy
• Take a detox bath with cypress and Epsom salts
• Take Cypress to a massage with you and you will benefit from even more soothing of your muscles and it will help with the detoxing too.

LYMPHATIC HEALTH AND CYPRESS

Your lymphatic system is a crucial part of your health, yet an often overlooked one! The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It works to protect your body from illness, to maintain body fluid levels, to absorb digestive fats and remove cellular waste.

The lymphatic system works hard to filter out all the things the body experiences. And there are some really simple, really easy health habits you can start today to give this system a boost on the daily!

Exercise, hydration, dry brushing, Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil and Cypress can be huge benefits for lymphatic health and circulation in general! Use Cypress alone or with Cel-Lite Magic daily for a gentle massage on the arms and legs.
