Product Description

USDA_organicseal_1in.gifThe health benefits of Cassia Essential Oil can be attributed to its properties like anti diarrhoea, anti depressant, anti emetic, anti galactogogue, anti microbial, anti rheumatic & anti arthritic, astringent, anti viral, carminative, circulatory, emenagogue, febrifuge and stimulant.

The scientific name of Cassia is Cinnamomum Cassia. It is also known by two other botanical names, Laurus Cassia and Cinnamomum Aromaticum. This evergreen tree is native to China and Burma. This plant is commonly known as Chinese Cinnamon and its bark is actually used flavour food and beverages, just like original Cinnamon. The essential oil of Cassia is derived by steam distillation of its leaves and twigs. Bark is also used sometimes to extract the oil. The chief constituents of Essential Oil of Cassia are benzaldehyde, chavicol, cinnamic aldehyde, cinnamyl acetate and linalool. Chinese knew the medicinal uses of Cassia previously. It is believed that it is from them the medicinal uses of this plant spread to other parts of the world.
