INTRODUCTION:
Cinnamon Oil is a highly concentrated essential oil extracted from the bark or leaves of the cinnamon tree, primarily derived from Cinnamomum verum (also known as Ceylon cinnamon) and Cinnamomum cassia. It belongs to the Lauraceae family and is widely valued for its warm, spicy aroma and powerful therapeutic properties.The oil is typically obtained through steam distillation of the bark (producing cinnamon bark oil) or the leaves (producing cinnamon leaf oil). Bark oil contains a higher concentration of cinnamaldehyde, making it stronger and more potent, while leaf oil is milder and rich in eugenol.
