Cassia Bark Oil

Cassia Bark Oil – Potent Cinnamaldehyde-Rich Essential Oil for Antimicrobial, Circulatory, and Metabolic Support

Cassia Bark Oil, distilled from the bark of Cinnamomum cassia, is a robust essential oil renowned for its high content of cinnamaldehyde—the primary bioactive compound responsible for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and circulatory-enhancing effects. Other key constituents include benzaldehyde, linalool, and coumarin, contributing to its warm, spicy aroma and wide therapeutic versatility.

Biochemically, cinnamaldehyde exerts powerful bactericidal and fungicidal activity by disrupting microbial membranes and inhibiting enzyme function, making Cassia Bark Oil effective in infection control, food preservation, and topical antiseptic formulations. It demonstrates significant efficacy against E. coli, S. aureus, and various Candida species.

Cassia Bark Oil also promotes peripheral blood circulation, supporting muscle relaxation and joint comfort, especially when used in topical blends. It has been traditionally used to stimulate digestion, relieve nausea, and support metabolic functions, including glucose regulation, via its influence on insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism pathways.

Its intense aroma and therapeutic activity make Cassia Bark Oil a valuable component in aromatherapy, where it is known to boost mental alertness and emotional upliftment. Due to its high potency, it is typically used in diluted concentrations within pharmaceutical, cosmetic, oral care, and functional wellness formulations.

Caution is advised in formulation due to the potential for dermal sensitivity, and its usage should comply with relevant safety standards.
