Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil
Ready to light the fire? We all love diffusing cinnamon bark for its characteristic spicy, holiday-esque aroma, but when can it be risky?
Cinnamon bark essential oil has a warm and comforting aroma that evokes memories of the holidays. But this essential oil offers so much more than just a pleasant aroma.
What It’s For
Cinnamon bark is a great oil to balance chakras and encourage the fire element for more energy and passion in your life. It is also powerful as an aid to releasing trapped emotions from past traumas. A few drops of cinnamon bark in your diffuser will uplift the atmosphere and support emotional well-being.
Because of its warming properties, cinnamon bark can soothe sore muscles and ease tension, as well as warm the body.
Constituent Highlight
Cinnamon bark contains up to 55% transcinnamaldehyde. This constituent is responsible for the spicy aroma as well as some of the therapeutic actions. Aldehydes are very calming to the nervous system and can encourage stress relief and relaxation.
Who Should Use Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil
Cinnamon blends so well with many other essential oils, so it is a great choice for the diffuser. Many people enjoy adding a few drops of cinnamon bark to lotion or massage oil for a warming treatment.
