Typically sourced from the bark or leaves of the cinnamon tree, cinnamon essential oil is said to offer a variety of health benefits.
These compounds include cinnamaldehyde, which has been found to reduce inflammation and act as an antimicrobial (a substance that destroys or
suppresses the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi).
Although cinnamon oil has numerous health benefits, it often causes irritations and allergic reactions. Therefore people prefer to use cinnamon directly instead of using the oil.
Otherwise, dilute the essential oil with a +carrier oil+ (my favourite being olive oil) or to prepare herbal tea with it .
The other option is to infuse it with your favourite oil (eg olive or coconut oil).
Brain Function: Cinnamon boosts the activity of the brain and makes it a good brain tonic. It helps to remove nervous tension and memory loss. Research at the Wheeling Jesuit University in the United States has proved that the scent of cinnamon has the ability to boost brain activity.
Pain Relief: Cinnamon is also an anti-inflammatory substance, so it helps in removing stiffness of the muscles and joints.
♦Cinnamon is also recommended for arthritis, and it is known to help in removing headaches that are caused by colds.
