French Cypress has been used to combat excessive perspiration
(particularly feet), oily skin, rheumatism, and varicose veins.
Aromatherapists also commonly credit French Cypress with being a
relaxing, nerve soothing essential oil. It has the properties of an
astringent and has been used in skin care applications and to augment
energy loss due to poor circulation. It has a spicy, herbaceous, slightly
woody evergreen aroma that is fresh and clean.
