Types of cinnamon oil
Cinnamon oil is derived from the bark or leaves of several types of trees, including the Cinnamomum verum tree and the Cinnamomum cassia tree.
Most commercially available cinnamon oil is derived from the Cinnamomum cassia tree and is called cassia cinnamon. Cinnamon that comes from the Cinnamomum verum is called Ceylon cinnamon.
This variety is more expensive.
Both types are comprised of compounds and phytochemicals, such as cinnamaldehyde and eugenol.
It’s these elements that make cinnamon beneficial for health.
Cinnamon oil uses and benefits
Mood enhancer
Cinnamon oil’s properties make it a popular choice for at-home aromatherapy treatments.
In aromatherapy, essential oils are diffused or spritzed into the air so they can be breathed in or absorbed into the skin. Aromatherapy has been linked to many benefits, including reduced depression and anxiety, and better sleep.
Cinnamon oil’s use in aromatherapy hasn’t been extensively studied, but many people enjoy the scent of cinnamon and find it relaxing.
Shop for essential oil diffusers.
Antibacterial properties
Research suggests that cinnamon oil:
Combats hard-to-treat bacterial organisms.
A study, which used bacterial cultures and lab tests, found that compounds in cinnamon oil had an antimicrobial effect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a potentially life-threatening, drug-resistant bacteria that affects plants, people, and other animals.
Supports oral health.
Cinnamon’s antibacterial and antifungal properties have been found to be effective against Streptococcus mutans and on Candida ssp biofilm, two agents which cause oral infections and cavities in teeth.
Disinfects. Cinnamon bark oil’s antibacterial properties make it a safe, effective, and non-chemical additive alternative that can be used to preserve products and increase their shelf life.
One study found that cinnamon oil could be effectively used as a preservative in cosmetics, toiletries, and hospital-setting disinfectants.
Hair fullness and growth
There’s no scientific evidence linking cinnamon to hair growth in humans.
There have been studies in mice that found some thickening and growth of hair.
Anecdotal reports and traditional practices indicate that a mask made of cinnamon, olive oil, and honey may be effective at promoting the growth and thickening of hair.
Food flavoring and cosmetics
Cinnamon oil is available as an essential oil and as a food-grade oil.
Cinnamon Oil can also be found as an ingredient in sugar-free gum, hard candy, tea, and in commercially prepared baked goods.
Cinnamon oil is used as an ingredient in toiletries, such as toothpaste, mouthwash, soap, and body lotion.
It’s also used to scent room sprays, candles, and seasonal items like pine cones and garlands.
How to use cinnamon oil
According to a survey done by the Tisserand Institute, many manufacturers of cinnamon essential oil recommend avoiding topical use altogether.
A general recommendation is to keep the concentration of cinnamon oil low if it’s going to come in contact with skin.
For example, one guideline of .01 percent concentration or less is equivalent to 1 drop of cinnamon oil for 30 to 40 milliliters (mL) of carrier liquid.
Add to air fresheners
To scent your home, try adding one drop of cinnamon oil to fabric sachets or dried flowers.
Or you can add a couple drops to a diffuser with water.
Some commercially made air fresheners have cinnamon scents made for them.
Add to body oils and moisturizers
Cinnamon oil can be mixed with a carrier oil and used for massage.
Mix one drop of cinnamon oil with two to three cups of a carrier oil, such as almond oil, and use for massage or to moisturize skin.
Shop for cinnamon oil.
Use cinnamon sticks
Whole cinnamon sticks contain cinnamon oil, and can be used in aromatherapy.
Simply drop one or two sticks into a large pot of warm water and let the mixture simmer, allowing the steam to add fragrance to the room.
You can also use cinnamon sticks while brewing coffee and tea, or as stirrers for hot beverages.
Cinnamon oil is produced by steaming the leaves or bark of trees from the Cinnamomum family.
Oils made from cinnamon bark are more expensive than those produced by leaf oils.
Bark oils have the familiar, delightful scent of the cinnamon spice, rather than a medicinal tang like the leaf.
Be sure to choose a cinnamon bark oil for the most pleasant experience.
Cinnamon oil uses
Always dilute cinnamon oil with a carrier to ensure you don’t irritate your skin or lungs. On their own, essential oils are potent enough to be severely irritating.
Cinnamon oil can be used for a variety of beneficial beauty treatments, including:
An aromatherapy treatment
Use a diffuser to fill your home with the warming scent of cinnamon, but light for no more than thirty minutes at a time, so as not to irritate your respiratory tract.
Alternately, apply to a cotton pad or cloth and inhale for a little aromatherapy when you’re in a rush.
Massage into skin with the addition of carrier oil
Massage this oil into tense or stiff parts of your body to soften muscles and produce a relaxing effect.
Dilute into baths or beauty products
Although you shouldn’t store your essential oil in the bathroom (the conditions are too moist), you can dilute your cinnamon formula into baths or beauty products.
Relax in a steamy, cinnamon-infused bath for warming relaxation, or add to cleansers, like shampoo or body wash, to enjoy a hit of the spicy stuff while grooming.
