Latin Name: Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Part of Plant Used: Leaves & 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. There are two types of essential oils: one from the leaves, which is gentler and typically yellow to light brown, often used in aromatherapy, and another from the bark, which is darker brown and less commonly used in aromatherapy. Cinnamon oil is known for its calming properties and powerful antiseptic effects. It is said to help with colds, bronchitis, and depression when used in an oil burner. In bath water or as part of a massage oil, it can assist with bronchitis, diarrhoea, chills, infections, flu, rheumatism, and arthritis. It is also effective for easing nausea and vomiting. Additionally, it stimulates the glandular system and can help reduce menstrual pain. Leaf oil should be avoided during pregnancy. The bark oil is very strong and must be diluted, and should only be used under expert supervision. The cinnamon tree is native to the Indian subcontinent and has been an important trade item for centuries between India, China, and Egypt. For a long time, the source of cinnamon remained a mystery in the Western world. According to Herodotus and other ancient authors, Arabia was believed to be the source of cinnamon. The story told that giant Cinnamon birds collected cinnamon sticks for their nests from a mysterious place where cinnamon trees grew. The Arabs were said to have tricked the birds and obtained cinnamon from them, a belief that persisted until 1310 in Byzantium.
