Lily & Loaf's Cinnamon essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum.
Cinnamon is one of the oldest aromatics which has also enjoyed an illustrious history as a spice and medicine. As early as 1500 B.C. it was known in Egypt and Rome and was valued highly as a flavouring, an aromatic in ceremonies and was used in a broad range of medicinal applications.
With a warming, comforting effect it works well for aching sore muscles and joints, and has a soothing tonic effect on the mind and body. Cinnamon oil has antiseptic properties and can be diffused to reduce airborne bacteria.
