Product description

Cinnamon is considered one of the oldest and most valuable spices in the world. It was already used by the Egyptians in ancient times, when its value could even be compared to the value of gold. It even became the basis of traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Essential oil from cinnamon can be obtained in two ways: by steam distillation from the bark or leaves of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree.

In aromatherapy it alleviates feelings of depression, faintness and exhaustion. It is also considered a natural aphrodisiac. When its scent is dispersed throughout the space, it refreshes and deodorizes, and with its characteristic warm aroma it relaxes, soothes and lifts the mood. These soothing effects support a calm mind and the ability to concentrate.

Thanks to its antirheumatic properties it helps sore joints and muscles. It strengthens immunity, reduces symptoms of colds and flu, improves blood circulation, thereby helping to prevent headaches as well as digestive problems.

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential oils, also called ethereal oils, are natural aromatic substances that come from various parts of plants – stems, roots, seeds, flowers, leaves, etc. They give plants their characteristic fragrance and, in addition, they also have therapeutic and protective effects. They have a very positive effect on symptoms on the physical, emotional and mental level. 

Their chemical composition is fairly complex. Essential oils are obtained from plants most often by distillation, extraction or pressing. Essential oils are highly concentrated and are used directly on the skin only after dilution with carrier vegetable oils (almond, apricot, jojoba, etc.). The only exceptions are tea tree and lavender essential oils, which you can apply directly.

Use essential oils for inhalation or in your cosmetic products; we do not recommend consuming any essential oils of any brands.

Essential oils are fat-soluble, therefore if you want to use them in products without oils and butters, use a solvent /solubilizer/.

HOW CAN I USE ESSENTIAL OIL?

Production of cosmetics and soaps – the required amount of essential oil depends on the specific recipe and the amount produced.
Inhalation, steaming – drip a few drops of essential oil into an aroma lamp, diffuser, or into a container with hot water.
Bath – mix the drops of oil in a base oil /coconut, olive.../, in 1 dl of milk or in a teaspoon of honey, pour this mixture into the bathtub. Pure essential oils are insoluble in water, the drops would float on the surface.
Massage – add a few drops of essential oil to cold-pressed vegetable oil (approx. 50 ml) and mix well. Enjoy a pleasant massage.
Sauna – you can choose from conifers, rosemary, eucalyptus, sage, mint or citrus fragrances. The number of drops depends on the size of the sauna and your preference.
