The Science & Wisdom Behind Chinese Cinnamon
Scientific Evidence
Chinese Cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde, a compound studied for its antimicrobial and blood sugar regulating properties. Research suggests it may help inhibit certain pathogens and support metabolic health.
Traditional Use
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, cassia bark has been used for thousands of years to warm the body, improve circulation, and address digestive complaints. It was considered a key 'warming' herb for cold conditions.
Anecdotal Reports
Many people report that diluted Chinese Cinnamon oil applied to areas of poor circulation helps increase warmth and that diffusing it during cold and flu season may help maintain family wellness.
How to Use Chinese Cinnamon
General Usage
Chinese Cinnamon should always be highly diluted (0.05-0.1%) when used topically to avoid skin irritation. It can be diffused, used in cleaning products, or taken internally in very small amounts under professional guidance.
