Cypress

Origin and history


The cypress, a slender and majestic tree, is a powerful symbol of the Mediterranean basin. Native to Asia Minor, it quickly spread to Greece, Italy, and southern France. In antiquity, it was associated with eternity and spiritual life, often planted near temples and cemeteries. The Egyptians used its wood to make sarcophagi, while the Greeks crafted statues and chests from it. Over time, the cypress has also found its place in traditional medicine for its circulatory and respiratory benefits.
