Cinnamon bark oil is distilled from true Ceylon Cinnamon

Cinnamon bark oil is distilled from true cinnamon only gound in Sri Lanka.The affinity between Cinnamon and Sri Lanka is so strong that the very botanical name of the spice - Cinnamomum zeylanicum is derived from the Island's colonial name Ceylon.

Cinnamon bark oil possesses the delicate aroma of the spice and a sweet and pungent taste. Its major constituent is cinnamaldehyde but other, minor components impart the well known and loved characteristic odour and flavour. It is employed mainly in the flavouring industry where it is used for meat and fast food seasonings, sauces and pickles, baked goods, confectionery, cola-type drinks, tobacco flavours and in dental and pharmaceutical preparations. Perfumery applications are far fewer than in flavours because the oil has some skin-sensitizing properties, but it has limited use in some perfumes.

Uses of Cinnamon Bark Oil

The effects which Cinnamon bark oil posses are stimulating, heating, stomachic, carminative, and tonic. The oil is among the most powerful stimulants we possess, and it is sometimes used as a cordial in cramps of the stomach, and in syncope; or as a stimulant in paralysis of the tongue, or to deaden the nerve in toothaches. But it is principally employed as an aromatic, to cover the disagreeable taste of the other drugs.
