History:Cypress oil is derived from a tall, slender tree typical for the landscapes of the Mediterranean. Its appearance adds serenity and timeless grace wherever it is planted and it is a popular plant for graveyards – not surprising, maybe, considering its main emotional benefit – to ease grief and give emotional strength to get on with life after an emotional crisis. The plant is related to Juniper and its oil can be found in many Men's colognes and aftershaves. Used as purifying incense by the Tibetans.

Specific Safety Information:Non-toxic, non-irritant. No safety data published for Blue Cypress, but it appears to be a fairly safe oil.
