CINNAMON & CASSIA
THERE IS THE CINNAMON BARK OIL (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum) AND THE CASSIA OIL (Cinnamon Cassia)
Cinnamon Oil is far more potent than the dried spice and it also contains compounds not found in the dried form. Cinnamon oil is one of the oldest spices known to man.
In biblical times the Ancient Egyptians traded cinnamon (Cassia particularly), because of this its origin was a closely guarded secret.
In the 15 centaury, grave robbers used Cinnamon to try to protect themselves from the Plague. (This is why Cinnamon is used as a part of On Guard – We will be discussing this oil later in the year).
Traditionally Cinnamon was associated with the ability to attract wealth.
