Cinnamon Bark- Cinnamomum Zeylanicum

Who doesn't love the aroma of cinnamon?  Like the spice, the essential oil can elicit warm, fuzzy feelings that offer emotional support and lift your spirits.  Be ready though - this is a powerful oil!

Cinnamon Bark's primary chemical constituent is cinnamaldehyde, which is antimicrobial - that means it's antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal.  This oil can also help boost your immune system.  During cold and flu season, diffusing Cinnamon Bark as part of a blend is a good way to keep the germ count down.

Cinnamaldehyde belongs to the aldehyde family of chemicals.  Aldehydes are very harsh on the skin, so this essential oil is best used for diffusion or in homemade cleaning blends.  If you decide to use it in a topical blend, the maximum dilution would be 1 drop in 40 mL (1.33 oz) of carrier oil.
(30 mL = 1 oz)  

Do not use this oil if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.  Do not use with kids under the age of 5.
