Fun Fact
What spice could be more valuable than Gold? You guessed it.
Cinnamon was once considered to be more valuable than
Gold. In Egypt, Cinnamon was desired for certain practices such
as embalming and even witchcraft.
What Is Cinnamon Oil Used For?
One of the lesser known benefits of Cinnamon Bark essential
oil is its powerful cleansing ability. It can be used to make a
natural surface cleanser by combing with water and white
vinegar.
Since Cinnamon is such a strong oil, it should always be
diluted for topical use—using doTERRA Fractionated
Coconut Oil, for example. The high content of
cinnamaldehyde in Cinnamon creates a warming sensation
on the skin, perfect for massaging cold and achy joints, but it
can irritate the skin if not diluted properly
