  • Before a trip: one drop of oil under the feet every morning and every night to avoid digestive issues. For people more seriously concerned about this: Mix 10% of oil in an excipient and drink 10 drops of this in a glass of water 2 to 3 times a day. Microbes will have to run really fast to catch up with you! 
  • Even half a drop of cinnamon bark in a cup of hot chocolate with almond milk... Mmmmh! 
  • To be diffused for a warm, cosy (even sensual) atmosphere at home. 
  • In diffusion, if you struggle warming up the ambiance after an argument.
 
Cinnamon tree belongs to the family of lauraceae which so prolific in smells and tastes: this family is a repository of flavours on the planet. Thin and slender, it is rather small, especially in culture (it must be harvested...) Lots of leaves and clusters of small white flowers all play an olfactory role.
 
The red gold of this tree, however, is its extremely thin bark (less than a millimetre thick). It is collected every 2 years from the trunk and main branches. The bark makes long ribbons that curl on themselves as they dry in the tropical sun. They are cut into the 10-centimeter-long sticks that we know in the kitchen. Pretty brittle when fresh, its smell amazingly fills up the space of a room. This definitely freshness makes one forget cinnamon powders sold in supermarkets.
 
2,700 years BC already, Chinese Emperor Nung Sheb had had it placed in his medicinal herbarium. It was one of the earliest spices that Greeks and Romans imported from the East through the Arabs. It was even burned like incense then. Indeed, though its main use nowadays is as a flavour (for example the world's number one buyer is a famous cola drink trademark), its symbolic use was much more popular in antiquity. It was associated with bats and winged serpents.
 
Cinnamon's soft energy is relaxing and soothing and it makes one enjoy life by snuggling down into the warm blanket of its powerful smell. Abstract of 'Encyclopédie d’aromathérapie et médecine de la conscience "(Böhning / Tauxe)
