Five elements
Cypress hull is neutral in nature and astringent in taste, belonging to Yin and attributed to “Wood” in the Five Elements. Wood governs growth and smoothness, matching its effects of nourishing hair roots and calming the mind to regulate circulation, helping Wood Qi flourish and balance internal imbalance.

I Ching
Cypress shell has the properties of astringency and nourishment, similar to the Earth over Mountain (Qian) Gua. In this Gua, the outer trigram is Kun (Earth) and the inner trigram is Gen (Mountain). Kun, as Earth, is gentle, inclusive; Gen, as Mountain, is stable and reserved. Cypress hull astringes to nourish hair and calm the mind, which aligns with the connotation of the Qian Gua, being humble, hiding one’s edge, and accumulating virtue.

Geomancy
In feng shui, cypress shull comes from cypress trees. Cypress trees, often planted in cemeteries, symbolize protection and the continuity of the family. Cypress hull has the effect of calming the qi field. Placing it at home can create a peaceful atmosphere and protect the home steadily.
