Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil

Description

Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil is extracted from the leaves of the cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum verum) through steam distillation. Known for its warm, spicy, and sweet aroma, cinnamon leaf oil is valued for its rich therapeutic properties. Unlike cinnamon bark oil, which has a more intense aroma, cinnamon leaf oil offers a gentler, yet still potent, scent. It is commonly used in aromatherapy, skincare, and as a natural remedy.

Benefits:

1. Antimicrobial: Cinnamon leaf oil has strong antimicrobial properties that can help prevent infections and protect against harmful bacteria and fungi.
2. Anti-Inflammatory: It possesses anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation and relieve pain, particularly in conditions like arthritis and muscle soreness.
3. Digestive Health: The oil can support digestive health by aiding in the relief of digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and indigestion.
4. Mood Enhancer: Its warm and spicy aroma can uplift mood, reduce stress, and create a comforting environment.
5. Skin Health: When diluted, cinnamon leaf oil can help improve skin health by treating acne and other skin infections due to its antimicrobial properties.
6. Immune Support: The oil can help boost the immune system and enhance overall wellness, particularly during cold and flu season.

Direction of Use:

• Aromatherapy: Add 3-4 drops of cinnamon leaf essential oil to a diffuser to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that uplifts mood and reduces stress.
• Topical Application: Dilute 2-3 drops of cinnamon leaf essential oil with a teaspoon of carrier oil (such as coconut oil or jojoba oil) and apply to the skin to improve complexion or alleviate pain and inflammation.
• Digestive Aid: Add a few drops to a glass of warm water (ensure it is properly diluted) and sip slowly to aid digestion and relieve gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Massage: Blend cinnamon leaf oil with a carrier oil and massage onto sore muscles or joints to reduce pain and inflammation.

Caution:

• If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Perform a patch test before using topically to ensure no skin sensitivity, as cinnamon leaf oil can be irritating to the skin.
• Do not ingest cinnamon leaf oil in large quantities as it can be toxic and cause irritation.

Storage Guide: Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain the oil’s efficacy and extend its shelf life. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use.
