doTERRA Cinnamon Bark
Sweet & Warm
Cinnamon bark
Botanical name: Cinnamonum zeylanicum
Country of origin: Madagascar and Sri Lanka
Application: internal, external, aromatic
Cinnamon comes from a tropical, evergreen tree that grows up to 45 feet tall and has highly fragrant bark, leaves, and flowers. Extracted from the bark, cinnamon oil supports healthy metabolic function and helps maintain a healthy immune system.
Due to its high cinnamaldehyde content, cinnamon should be diluted with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil when applied to the skin.
Cinnamon has a long history in antiquity and was a prized spice in many cultures. Its use dates back to the time of the ancient Egyptians, who knew of it more than 4,000 years ago and valued it as a precious commodity. In ancient Egypt, cinnamon was used for culinary purposes, religious rituals, and the embalming of the dead.
Cinnamon was also highly valued in ancient Greece and Rome. It was often given as a gift to rulers and kings and was considered a symbol of wealth and luxury. In Mediterranean cultures, cinnamon was used as a remedy and to flavor food and drinks.
Cinnamon also played a significant role in ancient trade history. It was transported along the Silk Road and other trade routes, eventually reaching ancient China, where it was highly valued. In antiquity, due to its rarity and the elaborate extraction process, cinnamon was a precious spice reserved only for the wealthy and royalty.
The desirability of cinnamon led to voyages of discovery and the exploration of new trade routes. The search for cinnamon and other exotic spices was one of the driving forces behind the discovery of new lands and the colonization of areas such as India and the islands in the Indian Ocean.

Chemistry of cinnamon
The main components of cinnamon bark oil are cinnamyl alcohol and eugenol . These natural chemical compounds are powerful components that offer significant internal benefits. A recent study suggests that cinnamyl alcohol supports healthy molecular kidney function.
Another study also found that cinnamyl alcohol activates an endogenous (natural, internal) antioxidant response in the cells of the colon, which is a natural method for maintaining healthy colon cells.
Eugenol also plays an active role in maintaining overall health. Recent findings show that eugenol helps the body maintain normal gastrointestinal motility even during stressful times, thus ensuring that the gastrointestinal tract functions properly.

The synergy between essential oils and energy work
Essential oils are known not only for their pleasant fragrances but also for their ability to work on a subtle level . They possess a high energetic frequency that can influence the body's energy system. The vibrations of these oils can help release blockages in the energy body and harmonize the vibrations, which is crucial in many energy-based practices.
When working with energy centers , such as the chakras, essential oils act as amplifiers by stimulating specific vibrations and supporting the flow of energy. They can help open energy pathways and balance vibrations at a higher level, promoting deeper harmony between body and mind.
The use of essential oils in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or Reiki can intensify the energetic process by raising energy levels and strengthening the connection to the higher self . The vibrations of essential oils support the natural flow of energy and help achieve a deeper spiritual opening. Through their specific influence on the energetic body, they promote the release of negative or stagnant energies that could block the natural flow.
Essential oils also help promote mental clarity and stabilize emotional balance by raising energetic vibration. They facilitate the achievement of focused, meditative states and support the healing process through the vibration of the subtle energy levels of the body.
How do you use essential oils in energy work?
To use essential oils in energy work, you can apply them in various ways to maximize their energetic effect. One of the simplest methods is inhalation , where you add a few drops of the oil to a diffuser or simply breathe in directly from the bottle. This helps to align the oil's vibrations directly with your energy body and promotes rapid energetic balancing.
You can also use essential oils topically by diluting them with a carrier oil and applying them to specific areas of the body, such as the wrists, neck, chest, or along the energy centers (chakras), to enhance their energetic effect. This is particularly helpful during chakra work or Reiki sessions, as it supports the flow of energy by harmonizing the oil's vibrations with your energetic system.
No matter how you use them, essential oils can help you promote energetic balance, release blockages, and deepen your energy work. And don't forget: your intention plays a vital role in your energy work with essential oils.
