Cypress Essential Oil Benefits

This specific oil comes from the needly bearing tree whose name is cupressus sempervierns. The tree is considered an evergreen that has rounded, small, wood-like cones. It is an incredibly fragrant and powerful plant whose oil has the ability to ward off infections, eliminate toxins from the body, improve the respiratory system and can be used to help quell anxiety and nervousness. The oils properties are naturally antispasmodic, stimulating, antibacterial and antiseptic. Here are some of its most pressing benefits.

Toxin Removal

There is only a specific level of toxicity that your body can properly deal with. So its good to detoxify whenever you can. This is done by taking part in cleanses, watching your diet and taking necessary supplementation. Because cypress oil is a diuretic, it can be used in this practice and helps to flush out the toxins that linger outside of your body. This oil will increase sweating and help rid your body of impurities. Try putting a few drops of the oil in your warm bathwater. Don't be surprised when the sauna-like atmosphere, coupled with the oil, has you sweating. That just means it's working.

Deodorant

This is a great natural oil that is an effective deodorizer. So many people are trying to eliminate the toxic ingredients and chemicals that they put on their body and the traditional deodorants now compete with the more natural, eco-friendly options. This essential oil is definitely one of them. The cypress oil has a clean and spicy scent that promotes rejuvenation and energy, but it also has antibacterial properties that help to mitigate smells. This prevents body odor and bacterial growth. Incorporating 5 to 10 drops of the oil into a natural cocoa butter or coconut oil mixture makes for a great deodorant. Using a mixture in a spray bottle is perfect for your laundry room, car or trash.

Cellulite Zapper

So many women want to know an effective way to minimize the appearance of cottage cheese thighs. Cellulite can be a very perplexing issue to have. Thankfully they, and varicose veins, can actually be reduced with the use of cypress essential oil. The oil allows the blood to flow throughout the legs in a proper fashion and removes excess salt and water from the problem spots of the body that show cellulite. It doesn't matter if this is on the stomach, butt, legs, or arms. Just a few drops of the oil rubbed on problem areas will have them looking much improved. Do this every day for at least a week and watch how your cellulite and varicose veins diminish.

Vapor Rub

Dealing with congestion and a chest cold is no fun. Whether you can't stop coughing or you have a level of congestion that makes it difficult to breathe, you likely want to get rid of it as fast as you can. Try mixing a bit of cypress oil with coconut oil and rubbing it on your chest. This is essentially the equivalent of a more popular vapor rub that has been traditionally used to eliminate cough and break up mucus.
