Uses for Cypress Oil
- A study from 2014 of Cypress Oil compounds showed antimicrobial properties suggesting it could be used as a mild preservative; this antibacterial property would make Cypress Oil a great addition to DIY home cleaning blends – try adding 10 drops of each Cypress and Orange oil to a spray bottle of 50% water and white vinegar.
- This oil works to balance and curb excesses, meaning it is good for oily skins or in blends to help excessive sweating.
- Cypress essential oil can be both invigorating and calming – diffuse some before going for a run, then add a few drops to a bath to relax you and your muscles.
