The essential oil is produced by steam distillation from the fresh dark green needles and twigs. Native to Southern Europe, Italian Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) has spread to North Africa and North America and is cultivated in France, Spain, and Morocco. In terms of Oriental medicine, the principal action of Cypress oil is to enliven and regulate the flow of blood.

At the same time, its fresh, coniferous pungency, and ability to circulate the Qi and blood, relate it to both psychological and real-life change. Cypress oil's basic subtle action, then, is to help us cope with and accept even difficult change-of both an inner and outer nature" - from Aromatherapy for Healing the Spirit.
