Description
Latin name: Cinnamomum Zeylanicum
Part of plant used: leaves and twigs
Source: Sri Lanka
Extraction method: steam distillation
Cinnamon essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree, also known as Ceylon cinnamon or true cinnamon. Two types of essential oils are extracted: one from the leaves, which is softer, yellow to light brown and is most commonly used in aromatherapy; and the other of the bark, which is a darker brown and is not generally preferred in aromatherapy.
Cinnamon oil is a soothing oil with powerful antiseptic properties. When used in an oil burner, this oil is said to help colds and bronchitis and cure depression. It is used to help with bronchitis, diarrhea, chills, infections, flu, rheumatism and arthritis when used in bath water or mixed with a massage oil. It relieves nausea and vomiting. It stimulates the glandular system and thereby reduces menstrual pain. Avoid the leaf oil during pregnancy. The bark oil is very strong and should only be used diluted under expert guidance.
The cinnamon tree is native to the Indian subcontinent and has been an important trade item between India, China and Egypt for centuries. The source of cinnamon has been a mystery to the western world for the longest time. According to Herodotus and other authors, Arabia was the source of cinnamon. The story goes that giant cinnamon birds collected cinnamon sticks for their nests in a mysterious place where cinnamon trees grew. The Arabs then tricked the birds and got the cinnamon from them. This was the belief in Byzantium until 1310.
