Aromatherapy with Cassia essential oil

If you love the aroma of cinnamon essential oil then you are bound to also love its close relative — cassia essential oil. 


With a fragrance very similar to cinnamon, it can be used to flavor food and beverages just as cinnamon essential oil would.

Cassia essential oil has the properties to help maintain physical and emotional well being. Cassia is one of the few essential oils mentioned in the Old Testament?  Its use can be traced back thousands of years for its fragrance and calming properties.
 
Cinnamon-like aroma. Because of its content of Carvacrol is considered a skin irritant when applied directly or in massage blend. Should be restricted, perhaps, to soaps only. Blends well with all the spice and citrus oils, geranium and black pepper.

Never use therapeutic quality Essential Oils as a substitute for necessary medical care. Keep oils tightly closed and out of reach of children. Never ingest undiluted essential oils. Don't use undiluted oils on your skin. Dilute oils with vegetable oils, one to three drops per tablespoon. 

Keep oils away from eyes and mucous membranes. Skin test oils before using. Dilute a small amount and apply to the skin of your inner arm or back of knee. Do not use if redness or irritation occurs. If redness, burning, itching or irritation occurs, stop using oil immediately. Use less rather than more. 

Cassia Essential Oils is one of the lesser expensive essential oils, you should be able to purchase 1 oz for less than $10.00

Have a Great Day,
