- Self-control and phlegm bear no secrets for Cypress. It goes straight, it goes high up the sky, it does not sway, not one single leaf would contravene to this rule of straightness: Cypress knows how to behave appropriately.
One day, an Australian visitor asked, while looking at a Cypress tree in front of a Swiss cemetery: "Do you comb them every morning?"
- Standing up for too long?
A few drops of Cypress in carrier oil, and massage your legs from the feet up. That should make them feel less heavy in the summer!
- A patient comes in, all bent over
Because all day, he strived
devoted to his work,
to bend in front of his boss.
Now he comes for a massage.
After close and careful observation,
the therapist takes a bottle of Cypress,
to relax the poor man and massage him quietly.
There comes the man out of the room,
straight like justice.
