Cypress oil is an essential oil
made from the twigs, stems, and leaves of the cypress tree. Most cypress
essential oil is made from Cupressus sempervirens, also known as
Mediterranean cypress. The majority of studies focus on essential oil made from
this particular tree.
Chinese Cedarwood, also known as
Chinese Weeping Cypress, is an evergreen coniferous tree is grown in the
foothills of SW and Central China. A medium sized tree of about 20-35 metres in
height. The wood is collected, and steam distilled to offer this Essential Oil.
It is suggested that the Chinese
Cedarwood tree is very tolerant of hot dry conditions but is susceptible to
insect damage in a succession of dry seasons, as well as intense windy
conditions. It also seems to be short-lived, though the cones can remain closed
on the tree for a number of years, opening after the heat of a forest fire to
scatter their seeds which then germinate and grow rapidly in the ashes of the
fire.
Cedarwood has long history of use
throughout the world. Initially, the Egyptians would infuse the oil in the
deceased in addition to using it for perfumes and incense. The Tibetans diffuse
the oil throughout temples as it is considered centering and relaxing. Numerous
herbal and pet shampoos and natural repellents contain Cedarwood Oil as an
active ingredient. Cedar chests have always been used to store woollen articles
and protect them from the larvae of clothes moths. The oil and wood are also
used to prepare incense in China and is cultivated as a timber crop in
China.
Chinese Cedarwood is sought after not only for its aromatic qualities but also for the therapeutic benefits. Helpful in the cosmetic and skin care, it is considered to be helpful with skin tightening and to improve skin complexion. It is also thought to stimulate the immune system and purify the air. The oil has been used for fungal growths, muscular aches and pains, removing warts, rheumatism, skin afflictions. Its scent promotes tranquillity and combats negative thoughts. Cedarwood oil is also considered an effective insect repellent.

In perfumery, Weeping Cypress
Wood has a particular combination of notes that are very clear, smoky, and
cedar-like with a slightly sweet green note subtly intertwined. It can be used
to enhance woody notes, spicy accords, and woody-orientals. Perfumers rejoice
as this is the perfect aromatic oil for adding smokiness to fragrance without
the hefty woody base notes that can easily overload. It blends
exceptionally well with Cedarwood Atlas, and Himalayan; Sandalwood Mysore,
Australian, and Hawaiian; Patchouli, and Haitian Vetiver.
There are several ‘cedarwood’
essential oils extracted from trees of the Cupressaceae family and traded in
commerce, but these oils are not as commonly used in aromatherapy as the
familiar ‘atlas’ and ‘virginian’ types. For example, Chinese cedarwood (Juniperus
funebris), Texas cedarwood (Juniperus ashei) and Himalayan
cedarwood (Cedrus deodara) are all used in the fragrance
industry, but for various reasons they are not commonly used therapeutically.
Additionally, Weeping Cypress
makes a strong candidate as an ingredient to any skincare or wellness product;
its aromatherapeutic benefit as an astringent, help tighten the skin and
improve the complexion. Its serene aroma promotes centering, calmness and
tranquility for yoga, meditation, and overall wellness. It has also been
noted to stimulate the immune system, and helpful with musculoskeletal aches
and pains such as tendonitis and muscle/tendon strains.
