Product description:

Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the “True Cinnamon Tree.” It has a medium consistency and can range in color from a brownish yellow to a darker shade. Its highly aromatic and pleasantly distinct scent, which has been likened to a combination of the fragrances characteristic of the Clove and Cinnamon spices, is described as being warm and spicy with herbaceous notes. With an earthy and woodsy yet bright quality to its aroma, Cinnamon Leaf Oil is reputed to exhibit soothing, grounding, and tonic effects that encourage a feeling of relaxation, comfort, and upliftment. For this reason, it is believed to be ideal for addressing faintness, exhaustion, low libido, and negative moods.

Its stimulating and energizing effects make Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil ideal for addressing pain, inflammation, joint stiffness, rheumatism, and low blood pressure. It is also reputed to be valuable for strengthening immunity, protecting against infections, easing digestion, reducing flatulence, constipation, and stress, and for eliminating scabies and lice. It nourishes and moisturizes the skin, soothes acne and rashes, stimulates circulation, slows the look of aging, and revives dullness.

Quick and easy recipes:

Massage blend: For a warming and pain-relieving massage oil that soothes muscular aches and joint pain, simply dilute 6-8 drops of Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil in 15 ml (½ oz.) Olive or Coconut Carrier Oil. This blend can be applied to sore arms, legs, backs, and any other preferred area of skin; however, sensitive areas should be avoided in order to prevent irritation.

Diffuser blend: For an uplifting aromatherapy blend that is reputed to diminish negative feelings, such as sadness and hopelessness, combine and diffuse 4 drops of Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil and 2 drops of Sweet Orange Essential Oil. This combination not only stimulates positivity but it also boosts immunity as well as energy levels.

Bath blend: For an anti-septic bath oil that is reputed to soothe and reduce symptoms of colds, viral infections, arthritis, and diarrhea while exhibiting an anti-spasmodic effect on the body, add 1 drop of Cinnamon Essential Oil and 3 drops of Ginger Essential Oil to a warm bath. This simple blend is known to ease digestion, calm nausea, and prevent vomiting.
