What is Docteur Valnet Cypress Organic Essential Oil used for?
Cypress essential oil has anti-inflammatory properties for veins and lymphatic vessels. It is healing, neurotonic and rebalances the central nervous system. It is an antitussive, mucolytic, bronchial antispasmodic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antioxidant essential oil. It is also an immunostimulant and prostate decongestant.
Cypress (family Cupressaceae) is a tall Mediterranean tree that can reach 40 meters in height. Cypress is best known for its beneficial action on veins.
Organic cypress essential oil, obtained by steam distillation of leafy twigs, is characterized by a rich, diversified composition. The dominant presence of monoterpenes, notably alpha-pinene, delta-3-carene, limonene and terpinolene, gives the oil expectorant and venous decongestant properties. Alpha-pinene regulates bronchial secretion and facilitates expectoration.
Phenol methyl ethers, such as carvacrol methyl ether, and esters like bornyl acetate, also contribute to the oil's anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting 5-lipo-oxygenase and reducing the synthesis of leukotrienes, molecules involved in inflammatory responses.
Sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenols, including cedrol, enhance the oil'santiviral and antibacterial action. These compounds are recognized for their effectiveness against the HSV-1 virus and other pathogens. The oil also acts on the nervous system thanks to alpha-terpenyl acetate, which has an effect on ion channels, modulating muscle spasms.
