Cinnamomum Verum Leaf Oil

Guaranteed 100% natural product

Cinnamon leaf oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves of the Cinnamomum verum or Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree, the same species that produces cinnamon bark oil. However, while cinnamon bark oil is extracted from the bark of the tree, cinnamon leaf oil is obtained from the leaves.

The oil is obtained through steam distillation of the fresh leaves, resulting in a highly aromatic and concentrated liquid with a warm, spicy, and sweet aroma similar to cinnamon bark oil, but with slightly different chemical composition.

Here are some common uses and benefits of cinnamon leaf oil:

Aromatherapy: Cinnamon leaf oil is prized for its warm and comforting aroma, making it a popular choice for aromatherapy. Diffusing cinnamon leaf oil in a room can help create a cozy atmosphere, promote relaxation, and uplift the mood. It is often used during the fall and winter seasons for its festive scent.

Antimicrobial properties: Cinnamon leaf oil has strong antimicrobial properties due to its high content of eugenol and other compounds. It can help inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, making it useful for disinfecting surfaces, purifying the air, and supporting immune health.

Digestive health: Cinnamon leaf oil is believed to have digestive benefits and can help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, bloating, gas, and stomach upset. It can help stimulate digestion, reduce nausea, and soothe stomach discomfort when diluted and massaged onto the abdomen or added to a warm cup of tea.

Pain relief: Cinnamon leaf oil has analgesic properties that can help relieve muscle aches and pains, joint pain, headaches, and menstrual cramps. It can be diluted with a carrier oil and applied topically to affected areas for soothing relief.

Flavoring agent: Cinnamon leaf oil is sometimes used as a flavoring agent in culinary applications. It adds a warm, spicy flavor to dishes such as baked goods, desserts, beverages, and savory dishes. However, it is less commonly used for culinary purposes compared to cinnamon bark oil.
