This slightly pungent oil distilled from the partly dried leaves & twigs of Cinnamomum Zeylanicum is often used in perfumery for its warm spicy oriental notes. It has a high level of Eugenol (80-90%) which may cause skin irritation especially in baths & thus it is sold only for use in a burner or diffuser unless otherwise advised by a qualified aromatherapist. Cinnamon has a warming & spicy aroma which blends wonderfully with the citrus oils & other spices such as Clove or Nutmeg. To create the perfect atmosphere over the festive season blend 1 drop of Cinnamon Leaf 1 drop of Clove Bud & 3 drops of Mandarin in a burner or diffuser. To help lift your spirits if you are feeling under the weather try 1 drop of Cinnamon Leaf 2 drops of Ylang Ylang & 2 drops of Sweet Orange.
