- HIGHLIGHTS
The Cypress Pine can grow for over 200 years making it a very long lived tree. The first recorded use of the Australian Blue Cypress by European settlers was in 1905 by Mr. Joe Cooper, who cut it for timber.; Several plantations were established in the 1960's as the woods anti-termite properties made it popular as a construction timber. However after Darwin - the Northern Territory's capital - was devastated by Cyclone Tracey in 1974, new building codes discouraged the construction of timber framed houses. In the late 1970's Federal budget cuts brought the plantation scheme to an end. In the mid 1990s some of the remaining plantations were utilized for the production of essential oil.; Intropica cypress oil has a beautifully smooth, blue-green appearance. Tiny crystals may form when the oil is cool but will disappear again once gently warmed.; Rich in sesquiterpenes, including guaiazulene, intropica cypress oil is known for it's anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and some anti-viral properties.
- Traditional History
For thousands of years the Australian Aboriginals have been using plants that are rich in the essential oils as traditional bush medicine. It was common practice to make a healing poultice by crushing the plant material with stone implements. Also extracting the oily liquid in hot water, to wash over the body. The bark would be thrown into the fire which acted as an insect repellant to fend off mosquitoes and other Aussie biting insects.
