The essential oil derived from the leaves of the evergreen tree known as Cinnamomum (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), commonly referred to as Cinnamon, has a warm, spicy aroma that stimulates the senses and offers significant health benefits. The main producing countries of cinnamon today include Ceylon, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Madagascar, and India.

Organic Ceylon Cinnamon essential oil is obtained from the leaves of the Ceylon cinnamon tree through steam distillation.

Organic Ceylon Cinnamon essential oil is a slightly yellow liquid. It is characterized by a warm, dry, sweet, and spicy scent. Additionally, the essential oil from Ceylon cinnamon leaves is milder than the oil produced from the bark of the same tree.

Cinnamon has been a highly valued commodity since ancient times and is one of the most recognizable aromas in the world. Its therapeutic properties have been documented in ancient Egyptian medical texts dating back to 1550 BC, containing over 700 remedies for various ailments, such as respiratory infections (flu, cough, cold), digestive issues, viruses, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, ulcers, inflammation, poor blood circulation, rheumatism, and warts.

Modern scientific research has confirmed the therapeutic properties of this plant. The compound cinnamaldehyde is the main component in the oil derived from the leaves. Cinnamaldehyde has been studied for its effects on platelets and has been found to help prevent clot formation. Additionally, it is attributed with significant anti-inflammatory properties. Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Leaf essential oil appears to help balance blood sugar levels and treat ulcers, heart diseases, and diabetes. Its high aldehyde content gives it strong antifungal, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties. It also possesses antioxidant action, delaying the aging process in tissues.

Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Leaf essential oil combines well with: Eucalyptus, Lavender, Clove, Vanilla, Grapefruit, Melissa, Rosemary, Thyme, Sage, Oregano, and Ginger.
