Cypress from Spain

Cypress oil is known in aromatherapy as a powerful decongestant for veins, helping to relieve varicosities and prostatitis. With its moderately complex array of monoterpenes, it is particularly high in α-pinene, and shows very strong antioxidant activity and antimicrobial effects against gram-positive bacteria. Cypress trees have the remarkable ability to store water and resist fire, making them symbolic of immortality.
