Cypress essential oil is steam distilled from the branches of the cypress tree. Its main constituent is alpha-pinene, which has been studied for its many health benefits. Cypress is sourced from Spain and Gary worked directly with distillers to get them to change their distillation practices to produce a higher quality oil in the early days of Young Living.
Cupressus sempervirens is the botanical name for cypress. Sempervirens means “live forever.” The cypress tree originates in France and Spain. Cypress wood was used by many ancient civilizations because of its durability. From doors to ships, statues, and even coffins, cypress wood was a favourite.
