Cinnamon Essential Oil is extracted by steam distillation from the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree, also called Ceylon cinnamon or true cinnamon. There are two kinds of essential oils extracted: one from the leaves, which is gentler and yellow to light brown in colour. This is most often used in aromatherapy; and the other from the bark, which is darker brown and not commonly preferred in aromatherapy.
 
Cinnamon oil is calming with powerful antiseptic properties. When used in an oil burner, this oil is said to help colds and bronchitis, and lift depression.
