Cassia -15mL Essential Oil
Cassia has been celebrated for thousands of years for its many benefits, specifically its warm, welcoming fragrance and comforting aromatic properties. This warming essential oil is a close relative to Cinnamon and shares many applications thanks to its similar aromatic profile.
Description
Cassia has a uniquely sweet, spicy aroma that can be used in small quantities to transform any essential oil blend. It is an ideal oil to diffuse during the autumn and winter months due to its warming properties and comforting scent. Cassia can be used in cooking either as a replacement for Cinnamon in pies and breads or simply to enhance the aromatics of your favourite spiced entrées and desserts. Because it is a particularly strong essential oil, Cassia should be diluted with a carrier oil when applied to the skin. When diluted and applied topically, Cassia offers a warming and soothing sensation on the skin. Cassia essential oil also possesses a high concentration of cinnamaldehyde, which provides potent surface cleansing properties that can lend an extra cleansing boost to at-home cleaning sprays.
Uses
- Diffuse Cassia oil during autumn and winter months for a festive aroma.
- Combine one drop of Cassia oil with a carrier oil and massage for a warming sensation.
- Use Cassia oil in cooking to replace or enhance the flavour of ground cinnamon
- Add two drops of Cassia oil to mop water or a homemade surface spray for added cleansing benefits.
