Extracted from the bark of a tropical tree, Cinnamon Bark essential oil is fragrant, flavourful, and filled with many beneficial compounds. Cinnamon Bark oil contains cleansing properties that can help clean household surfaces. When taken internally, Cinnamon Bark oil benefits the body by supporting healthy metabolic function while also maintaining healthy immune function.
Because Cinnamon Bark essential oil contains a high amount of cinnamaldehyde, only one or two drops of oil are needed for internal benefits. Similarly, Cinnamon Bark oil should also be diluted with dōTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil when applied to the skin, as it classified as a “hot” oil.
With its sweet and spicy aroma, Cinnamon Bark is a great oil for the diffuser and can even help to naturally repel insects. Along with its internal and external uses and benefits, Cinnamon Bark essential oil has been long used for its ability to enhance the flavour of drinks, bread, desserts, and main meals. Why not try making some Gingerbread Cookies, some Apple Chips, Apricot Cinnamon Porridge, maybe some Cinnamon Almond Granola or even some Overnight Cinnamon Muesli.
Cinnamon Bark essential oil can be taken internally to provide powerful benefits for the body. To obtain these internal benefits, put two drops of Cinnamon Bark essential oil in an empty Veggie Capsule to maintain a healthy immune system. Using Cinnamon Bark internally can also support healthy metabolic function. Dr Z (Eric Zielinski, DC) writes about The Health Benefits of Cinnamon Oil here.
