Description

Cinnamon

Origin and background

Cinnamon essential oil is extracted from the tree Cinnamomum zeylanicum , also called as the Ceylon cinnamon or true cinnamon. Two types of essential oils are extracted from this plant: one oil is made from the leaves, which are softer, yellow to light brown in color, and the most widely used in aromatherapy; and the second oil is made from the bark that is dark brown in color and is not generally preferred in aromatherapy.

The cinnamon tree originates from the Indian subcontinent and has been an important merchandise between India, China and Egypt for centuries. The origin of cinnamon has long been a great mystery to the Western world. According to Herodotus and other authors, cinnamon came from Arabia. The story tells that giant cinnamon birds gathered cinnamon sticks for their nests from a mysterious place where cinnamon trees grew. But then the Arabs fooled the birds and took the cinnamon away from them. At least that was the belief in Byzantium until 1310.

Topical

  • It is recommended to use essential oils and their blend in a diluted form. Especially for sensitive and gentle skin. This means adding a small amount of water or carrier oil before applying it to the skin. The blend can be placed, for example, in a roll-on bottle that is convenient to carry along and can be used at any convenient time.
  • Can also be added to a neutral unscented cream, lotion, or liquid soap to achieve radiant and healthy skin.
Aromatic
  • Can be used in an aroma diffuser both at home or in the office to create a pleasant and cozy atmosphere that relaxes the senses and creates a pleasant aroma around you.
  • It can also be added to an oil burner. Don't forget to add water to the oil burner and then drip in the essential oil! Pure essential oil is too strong and has a faint odor.
