Common Usage Physical Warmth & Circulation

  • Boosting Circulation: A powerful "rubefacient," meaning it brings blood flow to the surface of the skin. It is excellent for "cold" conditions, such as cold hands and feet.
  • Muscle & Joint Ease: Its warming properties make it a favorite for soothing the dull ache of rheumatism, arthritis, and general muscle stiffness.
  • Toxin Release: By stimulating the circulatory and lymphatic systems, it helps the body move and eliminate metabolic waste more efficiently.

Immune & Respiratory Support

  • Air Purifier: It is highly antimicrobial and antifungal. Diffusing it during cold and flu season helps "scrub" the air of airborne pathogens.
  • Combatting Chills: Ideal for those "feeling a cold coming on." It helps warm the body from the inside out and supports a healthy immune response.
  • Respiratory Tonic: Helps clear congestion and acts as a mild stimulant for the respiratory system when you feel lethargic or "heavy" due to illness.

Digestive Health

  • Digestive Stimulant: When massaged (highly diluted) onto the abdomen, it helps "fire up" a sluggish digestive tract and eases abdominal cramps.
  • Gas & Bloating: Helps to expel trapped gas and reduce the discomfort of flatulence.

Emotional & Mental Vitality

  • Combatting Mental Fatigue: The spicy, familiar aroma acts as a "brain tonic," sharpening the senses and helping to overcome feelings of exhaustion or "burnout."
  • Aphrodisiac Qualities: Its warm, sensual scent is traditionally used to spark passion and reduce sexual anxieties or "coldness" in relationships.
  • Uplifting the Spirit: Provides a sense of comfort and "home," helping to sweep away feelings of isolation or depression.

Blending note
  • A warm, spicy middle note. While it is distilled from the leaves rather than the bark, it still packs a powerful punch.
  • It is often preferred in aromatherapy over Cinnamon Bark because it has a higher concentration of eugenol, making it slightly milder (though still very potent) and excellent for clearing the air and warming the body

Do you know? Because it is high in eugenol, Cinnamon Leaf oil is often used as a natural alternative to traditional pesticides and is particularly effective at repelling ants and dust mites

Contraindication Potent Skin Irritant. Like all cinnamon oils, it is a "hot" oil. It must be used in very low dilutions (no more than 0.6% for topical application). Avoid use during pregnancy and with young children
