Best Cinnamon Essential Oil
With its warm, spicy, sweet scent, cinnamon essential oil is known as a stimulating mood enhancer. A very strong essential oil, it shouldn’t be used directly on the skin without diluting heavily in a carrier oil, shouldn’t be ingested full-strength, and shouldn’t be added to bathwater without first diluting in a carrier oil.
While cinnamon essential oil must be used with those precautions, it has antibacterial properties, supports healthy immune and metabolic functions, and is known to stimulate circulation, reduce stress and improve mood, relieve pain, and improve digestion. The best cinnamon essential oil is extracted from the bark or leaves of trees (the Cinnamomum verum tree and Cinnamomum cassia tree).
