Pure Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Oil – 100% Organic Steam-Distilled (Cinnamomum Verum)

Description

Experience the extraordinary potency of Pure Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Oil – the rarest and most concentrated form of true cinnamon essential oil, steam-distilled from the precious inner bark of Cinnamomum verum trees in Sri Lanka's historic spice highlands. This is not ordinary cinnamon oil – it's the authentic "true cinnamon" bark oil that ancient spice traders risked their lives to obtain, now available in its purest therapeutic form.

Unlike common cassia bark oil or cinnamon leaf oil, genuine Ceylon cinnamon bark oil is extracted from hand-peeled inner bark scrolls (quills) that take years to produce. This labor-intensive process yields an essential oil with exceptionally high cinnamaldehyde content (65-80%), creating the warmest, sweetest, most complex cinnamon aroma found in nature – without the harsh, burning qualities of inferior cinnamon oils.

Our Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Oil represents the pinnacle of essential oil purity and potency. Each bottle is extracted from certified organic cinnamon bark harvested by skilled peelers using traditional methods passed down through generations in Sri Lanka's renowned cinnamon estates. This is the essential oil that perfumers, aromatherapists, and natural health practitioners worldwide consider the absolute finest.

Why Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Oil is Superior

Ceylon Bark vs Cassia Bark vs Ceylon Leaf Oil vs Other Spice Oils

CRITICAL DIFFERENCE - Coumarin Content:

Health & Wellness Benefits

Exceptional Antimicrobial & Antifungal Power

With 65-80% cinnamaldehyde, Ceylon cinnamon bark oil is one of nature's most powerful antimicrobial agents. Scientific research demonstrates effectiveness against E. coli, Staphylococcus, Candida albicans, and numerous other pathogens. Far superior to cassia and most other essential oils for environmental purification.

Blood Sugar Support & Metabolic Health

Traditional Ayurvedic use and modern research suggest cinnamon bark compounds may support healthy blood sugar metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Aromatherapy and carefully diluted topical application (with professional guidance) may support metabolic wellness.

Powerful Antioxidant Protection

Among the highest antioxidant capacity of any essential oil (ORAC value >500,000). The abundant cinnamaldehyde and other phenolic compounds neutralize free radicals, supporting cellular health and potentially slowing oxidative aging processes throughout the body.

Circulatory Stimulation & Warming Properties

Creates intense warming sensation when properly diluted and applied topically. Stimulates healthy circulation, bringing blood flow to extremities and cold areas. Traditional use for cold hands/feet, poor circulation, and as a general warming tonic during cold seasons.

Cognitive Enhancement & Mental Clarity

The rich, complex aroma stimulates the mind, enhances focus, improves memory retention, and combats mental fatigue. Research shows cinnamon aroma can improve cognitive performance on attention-based tasks and working memory exercises.

Natural Pain Relief & Anti-Inflammatory

Cinnamaldehyde and eugenol provide powerful analgesic properties. When properly diluted, supports relief from muscle aches, joint discomfort, menstrual cramps, and general inflammation. Anti-inflammatory effects comparable to pharmaceutical options in some studies.

Digestive System Support

Traditional use for digestive complaints including bloating, gas, nausea, and sluggish digestion. Aromatherapy or carefully diluted abdominal massage may support healthy digestive function and comfort after meals.

Mood Enhancement & Emotional Warmth

The familiar, beloved scent of cinnamon creates feelings of comfort, security, warmth, and nostalgia. May help combat seasonal depression, loneliness, and emotional coldness. Natural aphrodisiac properties enhance intimacy and connection.

Respiratory Support & Immune Defense

During cold and flu season, diffusion helps purify air, support clear breathing, and create an environment hostile to airborne pathogens. The warming properties help clear congestion and support respiratory comfort.

Traditional Uses & Cultural Significance

Ancient Spice Trade Heritage:

Ceylon cinnamon bark was literally worth more than gold in ancient times. Egyptian pharaohs used it in embalming rituals (1500 BCE), and it's mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the ingredients in holy anointing oil. Roman Emperor Nero burned a year's supply of cinnamon at his wife's funeral to demonstrate his wealth and grief.

The spice trade routes of the ancient world were built around cinnamon. Arab traders controlled the supply for centuries, creating elaborate myths about cinnamon's origins to protect their monopoly. The Portuguese conquered Sri Lanka in 1505 specifically to control cinnamon production, followed by the Dutch and British.

Ayurvedic Sacred Medicine:

In Ayurvedic tradition, cinnamon bark (tvak) is considered one of the most sacred and powerful healing substances. Classified as heating, pungent, and sweet, it balances Kapha and Vata doshas while potentially aggravating Pitta if overused.

Traditional uses include: digestive fire enhancement (agni dipana), circulation improvement, respiratory support, reproductive health, blood purification, and as an essential ingredient in numerous classical Ayurvedic formulations including Trikatu, Sitopaladi Churna, and various rasayanas.

Traditional Chinese Medicine:

Known as rou gui (meat of cassia) in TCM, though true Ceylon cinnamon is considered superior and rarer. Used to warm the kidney yang, strengthen the mingmen fire (gate of vitality), promote blood circulation, and dispel cold from the channels. Essential in classical formulas for supporting core body warmth and vitality.

Historical & Archaeological Evidence:

• Found in Egyptian tombs dating to 1500 BCE
• Mentioned in Sanskrit texts from 1200 BCE
• Referenced in Song of Solomon and Exodus in the Bible
• Essential ingredient in medieval European monasteries
• Featured in Marco Polo's travel writings (1292 CE)

Pure. Potent. Precious. The True Cinnamon.

Important Note: This is BARK oil (65-80% cinnamaldehyde), which is significantly more potent and requires more caution than LEAF oil (70-85% eugenol). If you're new to cinnamon essential oils or prefer a gentler option, consider starting with our Ceylon Cinnamon Leaf Oil instead. Both are authentic Ceylon cinnamon, but bark oil is the more advanced, potent option.
