CINNAMOMUM ZEYLANICUM
CINNAMON LEAF OIL
Cinnamon leaf oil is derived from the leaves of the cinnamon tree, scientifically known as Cinnamomum verum, primarily indigenous to Sri Lanka and parts of India. Historically, cinnamon has been celebrated in various cultures for its medicinal and culinary significance, with ancient Egyptians using it in embalming and medieval Europeans treasuring it as a status symbol. Characterized by a warm, spicy aroma, cinnamon leaf oil is different from the more commonly recognized cinnamon bark oil. Its main chemical component, eugenol, gives it robust antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. From a holistic perspective, cinnamon leaf oil is believed to stimulate the immune system, alleviate feelings of depression, and inspire warmth and inner peace. Numerous health benefits are ascribed to this oil, including its ability to combat infections, relieve pain, and improve blood circulation. When it comes to skincare, cinnamon leaf oil is prized for its antimicrobial properties, making it an effective agent against skin blemishes. Additionally, its invigorating scent is often employed in aromatherapy to rejuvenate the senses.
