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 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

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.

burial grounds since Greek and Roman days and is traditionally believed to have
supplied the wood for Christ's Cross.
