Cupressus sempervirens is a tree that grows up to 30 m tall. The leaves are 0.5 to 1 mm, dark green and obtuse. The male cones are 4 to 8 mm, the female are 25 to 40 mm. They are elliptical-oblong (rarely globose), green when young and shining yellowish-gray when ripe, with 8 to 14 short and obtusely spiked scales. There are 8 to 20 seeds on each scale. Cupressus sempervirens, also known as the Mediterranean cypress or Italian cypress, is native to the eastern Mediterranean region, North America and subtropical Asia at higher altitudes. Literature survey regarding its pharmacology revealed that Cupressus sempervirens has antiseptic, aromatherapeutic, astringent, balsamic or anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, astringent, antiseptic, deodorant and diuretic activities. Literature survey regarding chemistry showed that monoterpenes, diterpenes, flavonoid glycoside and biflavonoid compounds are found in this species. The present review aims to highlight the chemistry, traditional uses and biological activities of the Cupressus sempervirens plant.
The term "wild" when applied to plants or plant species refers to those that grow spontaneously in self-maintaining populations in natural or semi-natural ecosystems and can exist independently of direct human action. Venkatramna Industries have selective wild varieties of species which are being conserved to obtain oil and this is one of them. These species are the wild species (Original of their genera), means they are not Genetically modified (GMO), Non-Hybrid and no artificial or desired characters were induced. Collectively we call them Wild Crafted Essential Oils.
Cupressus sempervirens has an important place in traditional system of medicine; therefore, many pharmacological studies have been done on various part of the plant (Figure 5). The dried cones and young branches are used as anti-anthelmintic, antipyretic, antirheumatic, antiseptic, astringent, balsamic, vasoconstrictive and antifungal. They are taken internally for the treatment of whooping cough, the spitting up of blood, spasmodic coughs, colds, flu and sore throats. Paste of cones and young branches applied externally for tightening up the blood vessels in haemorrhoids. A foot bath of the cones is used to clean the feet and counter excessive sweating. It is also used as antiseptic, deodorant and diuretic effects, to promote venous circulation to the kidneys and bladder area and finally to improve bladder tone and as a coadjutant in therapy of urinary incontinence and enuresis
Cypress Emerald Natural Essential Oil in Pharma
The drug obtained from Cupressus sempervirens was used externally for head colds, coughs and bronchitis. A decoction of the cones and leaves of Cupressus sempervirens was used in a sitz bath three times a day for one week for haemorrhoids. The cones and leaves were used internally as an astringent. Externally, the extract of the cypress was incorporated in preparations (ointments and suppositories) and used to treat haemorrhoids, varicose veins and venous circulation disorders. The essential oil was used as antiseptic and an antispasmodic for stubborn coughs(78). Cypress was also described as deodorant, and diuretic, to promote venous circulation to the kidneys and bladder area, and to improve bladder tone and as a co-adjuvant in therapy of urinary incontinence and enuresis.
Essence of Cypress Emerald Natural Essential Oil
Known for its astringent properties, the essential oil is often used today in perfumery, especially men's cosmetics.
Cypress essential oil is distilled from the wood of the majestic Cypress tree, which grows in Europe, particularly around the Mediterrean. The tree has been venerated since ancient times and gave its name to the island of Cyprus.
It has also been associated with burial grounds since Greek and Roman days and is traditionally believed to have supplied the wood for Christ's Cross.
