Cassia Oil

Botanical Name: Cinnamomum cassia

Overview:
Cassia oil is derived from the bark or leaves of the cassia tree, which is closely related to cinnamon. Known for its spicy, sweet, and warm aroma, cassia oil is often used in aromatherapy and natural skincare for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and stimulating properties.

Key Benefits:

• Antimicrobial: Helps fight off bacteria and fungi, making it useful in cleaning and skincare routines.

• Anti-inflammatory: Reduces redness and swelling in the skin, helping with conditions like acne or irritation.

• Aromatherapy: Known for its uplifting scent, it can stimulate the mind and improve focus or energy levels.

• Digestive Support: Can assist with indigestion and promote a healthy digestive system.

• Improves Circulation: Boosts blood circulation, which can help with muscle aches or tension.

How to Use:

• Skincare: Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to affected areas (like acne or irritated skin). Avoid sensitive areas like the eyes.

• Aromatherapy: Add a few drops to a diffuser to uplift your mood and promote focus.

• Massage: Mix with carrier oils for a relaxing, stimulating massage experience.

• Hair Care: Combine with a carrier oil and apply to the scalp to help with dandruff or stimulate hair growth.

Caution:
Cassia oil is potent, so always dilute it with a carrier oil before use. It can cause skin irritation in some individuals. Perform a patch test before use, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Storage:
Store in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed to preserve its potency and aroma.
