Let's enjoy the picture of cypress first ~

? Cypress is a famous Mediterranean landscape plant, and we can often find it in Cezanne and Van Gogh's paintings. It seems that cypress trees are always inseparable from cemeteries, and the reasons can be traced back to ancient Egypt and Rome. People at that time regarded cypress as the best gift of death and hell. The name of cypress "sempervirens" means eternal life, refers to the evergreen characteristics of cypress leaves and is also a symbol of the continuation of life after death.

? Essential oil can be obtained by distilling the leaves and cones of cypress. The main components are: d- pinene, d- camphene, d- abiene, p-cymene, juniper alcohol, terpineol and camphor. The color of cedar essential oil varies from colorless to yellow, and it has a good smell of smoked wood, much like turpentine (juniper smells more like turpentine).

Drop 1 ~ 2 drops of cypress essential oil on handkerchiefs and interviews, and inhale its vapor to relieve asthma for a hundred days.

Children with asthma are worried that asthma will suddenly attack at night, so it is very helpful for them to use essential oil to relieve asthma in the bedroom.
