Cinnamon Bark

Description

Cinnamon is derived from a tropical, evergreen tree that grows up to 45 feet high and has highly fragrant bark, leaves, and flowers. Cinnamon is frequently used in mouth rinses and chewing gums. Cinnamon has a long history of culinary uses, adding spice to desserts, entrées, and hot drinks. Due to its high content of cinnamaldehyde, Cinnamon should be diluted with a carrier oil when applied to the skin and only one to two drops are needed for internal benefits.

Cosmetic Uses:

• Add one drop to two ounces of water and gargle for a mouth-freshening rinse.
• Dilute with Fractionated Coconut Oil and use in a warming massage.
• Dilute with Fractionated Coconut Oil and apply to wrists and ankles before outdoor activity.

Household Uses:

• Diffuse during cold seasons for an invigorating aroma.
• Place in spray bottle with water and use on to wipe down counter-tops and other surfaces.

Food Uses:

• Use in place of dry cinnamon in recipes for a delightfully, spicy flavor.
• Add one drop to a cup of tea with honey during winter months.
