Cassia oil is a potent essential oil derived from the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia tree. With a warm, spicy, and cinnamon-like aroma, this oil is known for its powerful antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Cassia Oil is widely used in aromatherapy, natural medicine, perfumery, and flavoring applications.
Its strong fragrance is similar to true cinnamon but more intense and slightly sweeter, making it an economical alternative in many fragrance and flavor formulations. Due to its high content of cinnamaldehyde, cassia oil offers a robust, warming scent that blends well with clove, ginger, and citrus oils.
Cassia is a spice that looks and smells like Cinnamon. However, our natural Cassia Essential Oil comes in brownish-red color and has a slightly milder flavor than Cinnamon oil. Due to its similar aroma and properties, Cinnamomum Cassia Essential Oil is in great demand nowadays.
The history of Cassia Essential oil can be traced way back to Ancient Chinese Medicine when it was used for treating several skin conditions. If you love the smell of Cinnamon but hope that it comes with a slightly sweet fragrance, then our organic Cassia Essential Oil is perfect for you.
When used in the right concentration, Cinnamon Cassia Oil provides instant relief from Skin Inflammation. You will find it in many pain-relieving ointments and rubs. Add a few drops of our pure Cassia Essential Oil in a coconut carrier oil and rub on your skin daily. It will improve the texture of your skin and make you feel light and rejuvenated.
