Cassia - 10ml

Cassia is a warm, spicy, and powerfully aromatic oil derived from the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia tree, a close relative of true cinnamon. Native to China and widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, Cassia has a long history as a healing and aromatic spice, prized for its invigorating scent and potent therapeutic properties.

Highly antiseptic, antiviral, and antimicrobial, Cassia Essential Oil is excellent for supporting immune function and warding off seasonal illnesses. It is often used in diffusion blends to purify the air and uplift the atmosphere with its rich, spicy warmth. Its warming nature also makes it effective in massage blends to relieve joint pain, muscle stiffness, and improve circulation—though it must be heavily diluted, as it can be irritating to the skin.

Emotionally, Cassia brings comfort and strength, often used to boost confidence and mental focus. Its bold scent adds depth and spice to perfumes and blends, particularly for fall and winter themes.

Due to its intensity, Cassia is best used in small amounts and combined with gentler oils to balance its heat and sharpness.
