History:
Cypress has been valued since ancient times and was used by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans for spiritual, medicinal, and ceremonial purposes. In ancient cultures, cypress trees were often associated with strength, protection, transition, and immortality because of their tall, evergreen nature. Traditionally, Cypress was used to support circulation, respiratory comfort, emotional grounding, and as a cleansing aromatic plant.
