Cypress for Transition

Cupressus sempervirens

The card that popped out for my Sunday Essential Oil Reflection is Cypress.  Cypress is for transition, it also helps us to maintain balance!

Cypress is often used in blends for clearing and protection.  It has also been found to be helpful for anger, grief, impatience and confusion.

With its antiseptic, astringent, deodorant, diuretic and vasoconstrictive properties, Cypress is an oil that quickly comes to mind for broken capillaries and varicose veins.  It can also help stimulate circulation.  Its bactericidal and decongesting properties can be very helpful for many respiratory conditions, while its antispasmodic properties are helpful for muscular cramp, arthritis and rheumatism.

Energetically, Cypress can help us to maintain our balance, to stay centered, no matter what is going on around us.  It is an oil that can be very helpful any time we are dealing with a transition, any transition, but particular with death.

Caution: Generally considered non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing.  Do not use during pregnancy and use with caution on people with untreated high blood pressure.
