Cypress helps things move flow and move along.  It helps you let go of old stuck feelings.  Junk in your body will flow out easier too.

dōTERRA’s Cypress oil comes from the Isle of Crete.  Cypress is for Circulation.  That is an easy way to remember how to use Cypress.

Derived from the branches of the tall evergreen tree, Cypress essential oil has a fresh, clean aroma that’s energizing and refreshing. Cypress is frequently used in spas and by massage therapists. Cypress can be diffused or inhaled directly, but should not be swallowed or taken internally.  Cypress contains monoterpenes, making it beneficial for oily skin conditions.

BODY

Exercise Support: Prior to a long run, apply diluted Cypress to feet and legs for an energizing boost.  It reduces the occasional muscle cramps too.

Respiratory Support: Mix Cypress and Lime together and inhale.   You can also put this blend in a diffuser to open airways. This blend is invigorating.

Persistent Respiratory Support: Mix equal parts of Cypress with Myrrh and Wild Orange oil.  Rub on chest, on the back, bottom of the feet, and diffuse in the diffuser.

Oily Skin and Hair: Add 1-2 drops to toner to help improve the appearance of oily skin.  Add 1-2 drops with your shampoo. This will help balance the oil in your hair so you don’t have to wash every day.

Varicose Veins Support: Mix 2:1 Cypress and Helichrysum together with Fractionated Coconut Oil and rub on veins morning and night.  It helps increase blood flow, bringing essential nutrients to all parts of the body and encouraging angiogenesis.

Aching-Skin-Blemishes-On-Your-Bottom Relief: You can use Cypress directly or diluted with Fractionated Coconut Oil.  Use morning and night.  You may want to do a Epsom Salt soak with 1-2 table spoons of Epsom Salt in warm water and Cypress oil applied to your skin first.

Water Retention & Puffiness:  Massage Cypress oil on the legs and ankles and elevate the legs for little while.

Long Car-ride Bladder Support: Rub Cypress on the lower abs before long car rides to extend the bladder and reduce potty trips.

MIND

Cypress is the oil of Motion & Flow.  According to the Emotions & Essential Oils, the negative emotions Cypress oil helps to shift are as follows: Controlling, fearful, perfectionistic, rigid, stuck, tense

The positive properties we can incorporate are the following: Flexible, trusting, flowing with life, adaptable

Cypress has a grounding, yet stimulating effect on the emotions, making it a popular oil to diffuse during times of transition or loss.

Cypress helps release controlling, fear, perfectionism, rigidity, stuck, and tense emotions.

Cypress allows you to be more flexible, to trust, flowing with life, adaptable, and have emotional growth.

Warning: You might experience an emotional catharsis when using Cypress oil.  It’s ok.  Don’t worry about it.   Let it out and allow it to pass.

Seasonal Change Mental Clarity: 3 drops Cypress, 5 drops Bergamot, 5 drops Peppermint, 2 drops Cinnamon, 1 tablespoon Fractionated Coconut Oil. (Dr. Sue Lawton)  Use this to hep you deal with change and obtain mental clarity.

I move and flow with life’s changes

I easily trust life as it unfolds

SPIRIT

Cypress allows you to make progress and move forward.  We hold ourselves back because we are scared or fearful of something.  Cypress helps us let go of the past.  We also hold ourselves back because we want to know and understand everything that is going on in our lives.  There are many things that we can simply let go of.  We can allow ourselves to piece things together and find understanding later as we progress in knowledge and wisdom.  This is a journey of faith, meaning we don’t and won’t know everything.  We simply have to trust.

The problem with being stagnant is that we spend too much time overthinking.  When we overthink, we create negative situations that we are worried about.

Relieve Deep Inertia Spirit: Mix 4 drop Cypress, 2 drop Ginger rub on the feet. Inhale and say: I am strong, flexible, trusting and adapting in the universe.

*Note about ingesting oils: I only recommend the dōTERRA CPTG essential oils that are labeled for internal usage.  I can not vouch for any other brand or grade.
