Himalayan Cypress or Bhutan Cypress, this unique essential oil is distilled from aromatic heartwood wildcrafted in Nepal from Cupressus torulosa trees.  Himalayan Cypress trees reach for the sky growing to a height of 145-150 feet in the high altitude rocky terrain of the Himalayan Mountains.  It stands to reason why a ground disrupting natural disaster of great magnitude in April 2015 presented the opportunity for Nepalese distillers to explore distillation of aromatic heartwood from naturally fallen Himalayan Cypress trees. We gladly support their efforts and are happy to make this exceptional oil available to you.

Essential oil from Cypress trees has historically been distilled from leaves and/or cones; this Cypress wood oil distilled from the aromatic heartwood has a captivating crisp sweet resonating woody aroma that beckons use in perfumery.  A must have oil for those with an affinity for woodsy notes.  Use in Oriental and Incense Amber bouquets and all woody accords.  

This Cypress wood oil is new to us and void of reliable documented aromatherapy use.  However, GC analysis indicates this oil is rich in the sesquinterpenes alpha-Copaene 29.92%, Cyperene 13.05%, trans-Caryophyllene 12.13%, Valencene 2%.  The overall data suggestions Cypress wood oil has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits and its uplifting aroma may bring harmony, calm and wellbeing.
