Oils of Ancient Scripture: Cypress
Genesis 6:14 “So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.”
Isaiah 44:14 “He cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow.”
Cypress is one of those oils that might be easily overlooked. To me, it has an aroma similar (but milder) to our friend Frank. I appreciate it for a few reasons. Like all tree oils, it is very grounding (relaxing). Studies have proven that this oil is relaxing and calming!
It is also a really important oil to consider when you want to support healthy circulation. (Nobody benefits from stagnant, slow-moving blood 
… in fact, stagnant blood can get downright dangerous). You can pretty safely assume cypress is a key oil in supporting overall health knowing that it’s one of the 9 oils used in the Raindrop Technique.
