Part used: Leaves and twigs

Cinnamon essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree, also known as Ceylon cinnamon or true cinnamon. Two types of essential oils are obtained: one from the leaves, which is milder, yellow to light brown, and is most commonly used in aromatherapy; and the other from the bark, which is darker brown and is not generally preferred in aromatherapy.
Cinnamon oil is a calming oil with powerful antiseptic properties. When used in an oil burner, this oil is believed to alleviate depression. It is used in bathwater or mixed with massage oil to help with bronchitis, diarrhea, chills, infections, flu, colds, rheumatism, and arthritis. It relieves nausea and vomiting. It stimulates the glandular system and thereby reduces menstrual pain. Avoid leaf oil during pregnancy. Bark oil is very strong and should only be used diluted under expert supervision.
The cinnamon tree originally comes from the Indian subcontinent and has been an important trade item between India, China, and Egypt for centuries. The source of cinnamon was a mystery to the Western world for a long time. According to Herodotus and other authors, Arabia was the source of cinnamon. The story goes that giant cinnamon birds collected cinnamon sticks for their nests in a mysterious place where cinnamon trees grew. The Arabs then deceived the birds and took the cinnamon from them. This was believed until 1310 in Byzantium.
