Where does cinnamon essential oil stack up against the more popular essential oils? Well, to no surprise, there are a number of benefits and uses of cinnamon essential oil. Find all your cinnamon diffuser blends and rollerball recipes here.

Cinnamon essential oil is extracted from the bark of a tropical tree. It has a distinct fragrance, very flavorful, and is filled with many beneficial compounds.

The smell of cinnamon reminds me of the holiday season. When paired with cardamom and ginger, it smells like pumpkin pie.  Therefore, the cinnamon essential oil will be in my diffuser from now until Spring.  With its amazing scent comes the many health benefits of cinnamon essential oil.

HOW TO USE CINNAMON ESSENTIAL OIL 

  • Add 4-6 drops in a diffuser for aromatic benefits.
  • Add 1-2 drops in a carrier oil and place in the palm of your hand.  Rub it together, cuff over the nose, and inhale.
  • Place 1-2 drops in coconut oil and use topically for sore muscles and joint discomfort.
  • Use 1 drop of cinnamon essential oil in warm water or tea and drink slowly to soothe the throat.
  • Capsule 1-2 drops of cinnamon essential oil and swallow to boost the immune system.
  • Apply toothpaste to your toothbrush; add one drop of cinnamon essential oil, and brush like normal.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CINNAMON ESSENTIAL OIL

  1. Immune Booster– Cinnamon essential oil is a powerful immune-boosting essential oil. Use aromatically, topically, or internally when you need to boost the immune system.  
  2. Dental Health– Add one drop of cinnamon essential oil to 2 ounces of water and gargle as part of your nighttime routine.  Cinnamon essential oil is very cleansing and will leave your breath smelling fresh.  You can add a drop on your toothbrush or in your toothpaste, brush your teeth like normal.  Cinnamon will freshen breath and cleanse the mouth.
  3. Respiratory Support–  Apply 2 drops of diluted cinnamon essential oil directly to the chest to promote healthy, clear breathing.  Dilute in a carrier oil; find out my favorites HERE.
  4. Skin Imperfections–  Cinnamon essential oil can do amazing things for your skin. Dilute 1 drop of cinnamon essential oil in 1 ounce of coconut oil and apply to the area of concern.
  5. Weight Loss- Cinnamon essential oil can help you manage hunger and control your appetite.  Add 2-3 drops to 12 ounces of water and drink before meals.  Add 2 drops of cinnamon essential oil to a veggie capsule and take internally to deter cravings.

Diffusing essential oils is the best way to receive aromatic benefits.  Diffusers dispense tiny essential oil molecules into the air.  When you inhale these molecules, they can affect mood, stimulate the brain, boost the immune system, and clear nasal airways.

I love diffusing cinnamon essential oil blends in the fall and winter months to create a warm, sweet, yet spicy aroma.

COOKING WITH CINNAMON ESSENTIAL OIL 

Cinnamon essential oil can be safe for internal use if you are using a pure, high-quality oil.  Check the testing, sourcing and that it is an organic therapeutic grade before ingesting your essential oil.

I have more information on the grade of essential oils HERE and more information about ingesting essential oils HERE. Always check with your doctor to ensure taking essential oils internally is right for you.

As you can see, cinnamon essential oil is loaded with health benefits.  Adding this oil to the main dish, dessert, or drink can add a burst of flavor.
