Cinnamon Bark Therapeutic Essential oil
Cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum verum)
Cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum verum) has that wonderful spicy scent loved around the world.
Cinnamon oil is now being used in many recipes as a tangy, inventive ingredient.
Historically,
cinnamon was so popular it was the main reason behind the occupation of Ceylon by first the
Portuguese, then the Dutch, and then the British. It is best to dilute cinnamon bark before
topical application or direct inhalation.
Cinnamon is especially good for colds, flu, arthritis, rheumatism, and other aches and pains.
Cinnamon also blends well other oils, especially citrus and spice scents. Cinnamon oil is also
great to use in a diffuser before parties or open houses, as it lends a homey, welcoming
quality people find comforting and appealing.

Looking at Cinnamon
The anti-bacterial activities of plant oils and their components - looking at Cinnamon leaf, which has
cineol and eugenol in the oils. Eugenol is in Clove, Lemongrass, Cinnamon bark, and Lemon.
High performance, liquid chromatography analysis showed the bacterial sidle results are related
to the composition of the oils. So we know it, and the ancient people knew it–this is not something
that is new. It is not something that was unknown–it just was not published, but the people knew it.
Cinnamon and Cassia
Cinnamon Cassia bark is a very wonderful oil. This is an oil that you can carry around.
Cinnamon and Cassia are very similar–they are cousins and they have a lot of similar constituents.
Cassia is not quite as caustic because the cinnamic aldehyde in it is not as high, and it is a
good oil just to carry in your pocket and put it on your hands.
I know a lady and she likes Cassia better than she likes food! It's great, and when you look at this lady's complexion and you look at her hair, you know that Cassia's at work because it just radiates Cassia. It's beautiful and a little more gentle to take as an oil internally, and it has almost the same properties as Cinnamon.
Flavor Foods with Essential Oils
How many of you use Cinnamon by itself? That's good!
How many of you cook with it? Fantastic!
Try cooking with your blends–there is a lot of value in cooking with your blends, and I hope you
understand that when I say "cooking," I mean that you don't cook with oils, you flavor with oils.
You do your cooking and then you put the oils in at the very end when you are through cooking–and
you just blend it in. You don't pour it in, hit it with a blender, and put it on the stove at
300 degrees and boil it. You cook your food and then sprinkle your oil and blend it in very gently.
Oils are musical– have fun with them!
Antimicrobial Activity of Volatile Oils
In antimicrobial activity of volatile oils, bacterio-static and fungastatic activity of the
22 volatile oils, Cinnamon oil showed the highest activity against the tested bacterial/fungal
forms– very strong. You can do the same thing with the Cinnamon oil; you can always add
another drop–and when you work with cinnamon oil you only use one or two drops.
With the Eucalyptus you use five or six, so always keep your cinnamon oil in a smaller amount.
Now you have your entire Thieves line and doesn't it look like they just went back to the 1800's a
nd found this? Well, they did! It is a beautiful line that will sit on your shelf–and it creates
a great conversation piece. I have had people come up to me a lot of times and say,
"Thieves–what's that?" and I will say, "It's a real steal!" You heard Steve Bentley
say the other day say that he really likes the cleansing soap with Thieves and it
really invigorates the skin. It's beautiful.
Of course, we have the Dentarome. Ultra is my favorite toothpaste.
We go through it pretty fast in our home because it's fun just to eat it–and because I love the value of
Thieves. Why not–it tastes good! Brush your teeth, eat it, put it on your cake, put it on your pudding, your cereal–it's great!
