The indigenous peoples of Australia turned to White Cypress wood to create spears, musical instruments, and objects used in religious ceremony. Europeans used the sturdy Australian timber to create fortified structures resistant to termite invasions and the elements. Today, White Cypress Wood Essential Oil is primarily used as a calming, grounding fragrance-friend in aromatherapy and is a popular choice for meditation and yoga.

"Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."
~ Khalil Gibran
"White cypress is an evergreen tree native to Australia; it is often found in dry inland areas, as well as near the coasts. The tree grows to a height of about 85 – 100 feet (26 – 30.5 meters) and has grey-green needlelike leaves with silver-grey cones containing small seeds inside.
The tree is also known as white cypress pine."
~ Carol Schiller, David Schiller, Jeffrey Schiller, The Aromatherapy Encyclopedia
