Its high content of alpha pinene and delta 3 carene, give Cypress essential oil expectorant, venous decongestant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anti-infective, fungicidal properties as well as a moderate spasmolytic action. This essential oil has the ability to prevent glycation. Alpha pinene regulates the secretion of the bronchi and stimulates the muciparous glands, generating an expectorant effect.
