10 ml essential cinnamon oil

Essential Cinnamon Oil is obtained by steam distillation from the tree Cinnamomum zeylanicum, also called Ceylon cinnamon or true cinnamon. There are two types of essential oils: one from the leaves, which is milder, yellow to light brown, and most commonly used in aromatherapy; and the other from the bark, which is darker brown and less commonly used in aromatherapy.

Cinnamon oil has a calming effect and strong antiseptic properties. When used in a fragrance lamp, it is said to help with colds and bronchitis and to relieve depression. It is used for bronchitis, diarrhea, chills, infections, flu, rheumatism, and arthritis when added to bath water or mixed into massage oil. It relieves nausea and vomiting. It stimulates the glandular system and thus reduces menstrual pain. Avoid the leaf oil during pregnancy. The bark oil is very strong and should only be used diluted and under expert supervision.

The cinnamon tree originally comes from the Indian subcontinent and has been an important trade commodity between India, China, and Egypt for centuries. The origin of cinnamon was a mystery to the Western world for a long time. According to Herodotus and other authors, cinnamon comes from Arabia. The story goes that giant cinnamon sticks were collected for their nests at a mysterious place where cinnamon trees grew. The Arabs tricked the birds and captured the cinnamon. This belief persisted until 1310 in Byzantium.
