A bit of culture:

Cinnamon was once a coveted spice, a symbol of wealth and power. The Chinese pharmacopoeia has also integrated it for thousands of years, considering it as an exceptional source of well-being. Originally from Sri Lanka, Ceylon cinnamon is used as a spice but also as an essential oil.

The active ingredients of cinnamon give it many medicinal properties. Cinnamon bark essential oil is 60-80% cinnamaldehyde which is used to treat intestinal and stomach ailments.

Cinnamon EO is highly dosed in cinnamaldehyde, which makes it dermocaustic in its pure state and allergenic. It is therefore best to test it before using it (1 to 2 drops in the bend of the elbow and wait 24 hours for there to be no reaction).

It is also hepatotoxic, so it must be taken with a hepatoprotector such as Lemon essential oil or Peppermint essential oil. EO is exciting, so avoid taking it in the evening.

Storage advice:

Keep essential oils in a dry, cool place, away from light. Make sure the bottle is always tightly closed.
