The warm, spicy aroma of cinnamon has been sought throughout the ages, both as a valuable commodity and for its ability to improve wellness. And lets face it, who doesn't love the smell of cinnamon during the holidays? It is one of those scents that just screams Christmas to me!
Not only does it smell so yummy, but this essential oil has many wonderful medicinal properties. Cinnamon is thought to promote healthy cardiovascular and immune function, and acts as an antiseptic. It promotes slowing of the loss of blood (possibly associated with menstruation), supports the digestive system, freshens breath, and relieves pain. You can also use it to enhance your cooking, or dilute and massage to create a soothing, relaxing sensation.
For dietary use dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.
For topical use dilute one part essential oil to 4 parts carrier oil, then apply 1-2 drops on area needed or vita-flex points.
Also creates a lovely aroma when diffusing.
I say, put a few drops in a diffuser with a few other yummy Christmas smells (I will be suggestion a few in the next few days), cozy up by the fire and just breathe in the season! Not only will you be enjoying the scent but you will be purifying the air around you with your cinnamon bark oil!
"There is desirable treasure, and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man squanders it."
Proverbs 21:20
