Well-known for its use as a spice, Cinnamon Bark oil also has many health-promoting benefits.

Description

Cinnamon is derived from a tropical, evergreen tree that grows up to 45 feet high and has highly fragrant bark, leaves, and flowers. Extracted from bark, Cinnamon oil supports healthy metabolic function and helps maintain a healthy immune system when needed most.* Cinnamon 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 content of cinnamaldehyde, Cinnamon should be diluted with a carrier oil when applied to the skin and only one to two drops are needed for internal benefits.*

Uses

• Put two drops in 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 and create a warming massage for cold, achy joints during winter time.
