HISTORY:

Cinnamon Oil comes from a tree known by two botanical names – Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Cinnamomum vervun, both referring to the same tree. This is a species that is considered true cinnamon. The English name for this spice has its roots in the term "amomon", or "qinnamon", the Arabic and Hebrew words for "fragrant spice plant". Harvested and processed as a spice and essential oil, cultivated and exported globally. Cinnamon is also given the Early Modern English names "canel" and "canella", which are derived from the Latin word for "tube", due to the tendency of the inner bark to naturally form a tube as it dries and retracts into itself. Cinnamon Essential Oil can be obtained from either the outer bark or the leaves, therefore the two main varieties are Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil and Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil.

Today, it continues to be used in the form of spices, herbs, powders, and teas to treat emotional and physical ailments, such as depression, respiratory and digestive problems, colds, flu, weight gain, diarrhea, yeast infections, heavy periods, menstrual cramps , arthritis, and skin infections. According to a 7th century BC Greek poem, it was believed that Cinnamon grew in Arabia, along with Myrrh, Labdanum, and frankincense, and that this plant was so revered that it was protected by winged serpents.
