OIL SPOTLIGHT: Cassia essential oil!
If you like the scent of Cinnamon, you'll LOVE Cassia essential oil! Cassia has historically been used medicinally and in culinary applications in a similar way as cinnamon. It is also called Chinese Cinnamon.
Cassia essential oil is a physical and emotional stimulant. It is known for its anti-diarrhea, antidepressant, analgesic, antimicrobial, circulatory, and carminative properties. Care should be used in any topical applications as it can be highly irritating - dilute very well.
Cassia essential oil blends well with Roman Chamomile, Frankincense, Ginger, Rosemary, Geranium, Coriander and Citrus Oils - great for diffusing blends! Cassia essential oil is also a wonderful addition to DIY cleaning recipes due to its antimicrobial qualities.
BONUS FACT: Many US citizens have never used REAL cinnamon in baking or eaten it in baked goods - the spice marketed as common cinnamon in the US is actually cassia (unless otherwise specified). Now you know!
