Latin Name: Cinnamomic zeylanicum Part of Plant Used: Leaves & Twigs Source: Sri Lanka Extraction Method: Steam Distillation Cinnamon Essential Oil is obtained from the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree, also known as Ceylon or true cinnamon. Two types of oil exist: leaf oil, which is milder, yellow to light brown, and commonly used in aromatherapy, and bark oil, which is darker, stronger, and used less frequently due to its intensity. Cinnamon oil is valued for its calming aroma and strong antiseptic properties. When used in an oil burner, it is said to help ease colds, bronchitis, and depression. Added to bath water or massage blends, it may support relief from bronchitis, diarrhoea, chills, infections, flu, rheumatism, and arthritis. It is also believed to help with nausea, vomiting, and menstrual discomfort by stimulating the glandular system. Leaf oil should be avoided during pregnancy, and bark oil must always be heavily diluted and used only with professional guidance due to its potency. The cinnamon tree is native to the Indian subcontinent and has been a significant trade commodity for centuries, forming links between India, China, and Egypt. For a long time, the true source of cinnamon was unknown in the Western world. Ancient writers like Herodotus claimed that Arabia was its origin, telling tales of giant Cinnamon birds gathering sticks from secret locations to build their nests, and how the Arabs supposedly tricked the birds to obtain the precious spice.
