Cinnamon Bark Essentail Oil
Cinnamon is derived from the bark, leaves, and flowers of a tropical, evergreen tree that can grow up to 45 feet high and is highly fragrant. Cinnamon oil, extracted from the bark, supports healthy metabolic function and helps maintain a robust immune system when needed most. It is frequently used in mouth rinses and chewing gums.
Cinnamon has a long history of culinary uses, adding spice to desserts, entrées, and hot drinks. Due to its high cinnamaldehyde content, Cinnamon should be diluted with a carrier oil when applied to the skin, and only one to two drops are necessary for internal benefits.
Uses:
- Put two drops in an empty veggie capsule to maintain a healthy immune system.
- Place one drop of Cinnamon essential oil in hot water or tea and drink slowly to soothe your irritated throat.
- Put two to three drops of Cinnamon oil in a spray bottle for a quick and effective cleaning spray.
- During your nightly routine, add one drop to two ounces of water and gargle for an effective mouth rinse.
- Dilute with a carrier oil to create a warming massage for cold, achy joints during wintertime.
Directions for Use:
Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in four fluid ounces of liquid.
Topical use: Dilute one drop of essential oil to ten drops of carrier oil.
Cautions:
Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, face, and sensitive areas.
