Cinnamon Leaf

Cinnamon Leaf
Cinnamomum zeylanicum, wild crafted from Sri Lanka.

We have never offered Cinnamon Leaf oil before, because I honestly never experienced a sample that didn't smell muddy and lifeless. This oil, product of a dedicated highly skilled distiller is different. Light, vibrant, full of life, it is a beautiful oil. Far less sensitizing than our Cinnamon Bark oil, but still a skin irritant and possible sensitizer so should be used highly diluted. The aroma is similar to a blend of cinnamon and clove (because of its high Eugenol content). Cinnamon leaf is a powerful broad spectrum anti-infectious oil, also anti fungal. Highly diluted it can be an effective addition to tooth and gum care blends. Diffused it may be helpful in respiratory blends. Emotionally some authorities recommend it for feelings of isolation, loneliness and fear. It is also said to stimulate creativity.

Recent studies have indicated that Cinnamon Leaf and Ginger, in synergy, are an effective analgesic and rubifactant. The combination of the two are more effective at lower dilutions than either one alone.

WARNING: Please avoid use during pregnancy or with children under five. Cinnamon Leaf may induce menstruation or stimulate childbirth contractions. As mentioned above, it is a strong skin irritant. Avoid use of Cinnamon Leaf if you are on anti-coagulant therapy (blood thinners.)
