Cypress is a great oil to use to uplift you when you are feeling tired or depressed. Blends well with many other essential oils including woody or mint oils, citrus (especially grapefruit) and floral oils.

It is also sometimes added to blends aimed at reducing cellulite. Cypress Oil is believed help offer balance to oily and congested skin.

A lovely oil to incorporate into a natural deodorant and is good for excessive perspiration (always ensure it is diluted to a maximum of 1% before skin application). Cypress is a refreshing, woody and slightly spicy in its aroma which often makes it a popular choice for the more masculine blends.
