Blue Cypress oil

Callitris intratropica  /  Family: Cupressaceae 

Native to the northern tropical regions of Australia, the therapeutic benefits of Blue Cypress have been known to First Nations Australians for thousands of years. The rare blue oil produced from the wood is highly valued for its potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and pain-relieving properties, used to help ease the discomfort of minor wounds, insect bites, cold sores, warts, acne, irritated skin and various other skin complaints.
