Cassia Uses and Benefits

Cassia Oil Product Description

Extracted from the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia plant, Cassia is a warm and spicy essential oil with a sweet, cinnamon-like aroma.

When used in baking, Cassia oil provides a slightly sweet and spicy flavour to you favourite treats and desserts. The warming topical sensation of Cassia oil perfectly complements a personal massage while producing an uplifting and comforting aroma. Before applying to the skin, always dilute Cassia oil with Fractionated Coconut Oil or another carrier oil to reduce skin sensitivity. Because Cassia essential oil is high in cinnamaldehyde, it has potent surface cleansing properties, making it a great addition to your home cleaning routine. You also can’t go wrong with diffusing Cassia oil; it’s the best way to incorporate this invigorating, spicy aroma into your life.
