Benefit from the secrets of cinnamon bark oil known for centuries to the ancient Egyptians and Chinese. Protect your family from bacteria and infections or employ the oil to balance your intestinal tract and avoid embarrassing symptoms.
Portrait
You already love the scent of cinnamon; now put the oil to work solving intestinal woes and fighting those pesky infections that threaten your household. When colds or flu strike, cinnamon bark oil in honey can warm you and relieve your pain as it gets to work fighting the infection. And it works to protect other family members from catching the illness, too. If diarrhea, vomiting, or flatulence is a problem, cinnamon bark oil calms the spasms of the digestive tract to relieve these disruptive symptoms.

HOW TO USE
Preventative Blends: Cinnamon bark is great for that stubborn virus infection (and as a preventative if others in the home are sick), add 1 drop of Cinnamon Bark to a tablespoon of honey and take internally – repeat 1 to 3 times per day, no more than 3 drops per day. Don’t allow the oil to touch the tongue (because it will be irritating to the skin) – “ball it up” in the honey.
- The strong antimicrobial properties of cinnamon bark are quite effective in cleansing the intestinal tract of pathogenic bacteria. The phenylpropanoid compounds such as cinnamic aldehyde and eugenol act against the pathogenic bacteria and at the same time support the intestinal flora.
- It is interesting to note that as cinnamon bark is a potential skin irritant and sensitizer, the preferred mode of use is internally. Schnaubelt says that the internal application of cinnamon bark is well tolerated and is safe and effective, provided it is used in appropriate small dosages. He recommends one drop of oil into one tablespoon of edible vegetable oil and then ingesting that mixture in a gelatin capsule.
Foot Care: Great for a foot massage blend! Use cinnamon bark in a foot massage oil at a 1% dilution (5 –6 drops per 1 oz. carrier of oil). Great for relieving achy, cold feet, making them feel pain-free and toasty warm!
