About cassia essential oil:

A close relative to cinnamon, cassia has a strong, spicy, cinnamon-like aroma that can be used in small quantities to transform any essential oil blend.  It is steam distilled from the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia tree.

Cassia has been used for thousands of years.  It’s one of the few essential oils mentioned in the Old Testament, noted for its unmistakable fragrance and uplifting properties.

Cassia is a “warming” oil, that helps to promote circulation and maintain healthy immune function.  When diluted, cassia can help to soothe sore, achy joints.  It also promotes healthy digestion, and is a great oil to diffuse during cold months, due to its warming and uplifting aroma.  It can also be used in cooking, either as a replacement for cinnamon, in pies and breads, or by itself, in a myriad of entrees and desserts.

Due to its caustic nature, cassia should be well diluted with dōTERRA‘s fractionated coconut oil, when applied to the skin.  It can also be very strong, when inhaled directly.
