Holistic Wisdom:
Warming and stimulating aromatically, the medicine of cinnamon brings strength to the heart, the will, and the emotions. Ruled by the sun and the element of fire, cinnamon assists in restoring vital life force and passion for life and love. It is a renowned aphrodisiac and awakens or reinvigorates sexual fire between two people. It breathes spirit back into the body, the mind, and the soul.
Cinnamon is an oil of encouragement, reminding us that it is possible to bounce back from illness, loss, heartbreak, and soul ache to source that deep reservoir of resilience that is intrinsic to human nature. This oil is indicated to dissolve an inability to move forward, lift, and expand out of the depths of darkness and any places where a sense of weakness presents itself in the nooks and crannies of the shadow self.
Ancient civilizations revered, traded, and relied on cinnamon for the potent medicinal effect of preventing infections and limiting the contagious nature of disease. Cinnamon was so highly revered that it was coveted during the time of the Black Death in Europe in the mid-1300s. The highly antiseptic nature of cinnamon indicates use for colds and the flu, particularly with a strong antiviral action; this oil should be a staple in every medicine chest, particularly as the planet continues to shift and different bacterial and viral strains challenge humanity.
Special Notation: Cinnamon is produced from the leaf as well as the bark of the plant. The oil from the bark has a high rate of dermal toxicity and should not be used on the skin. Cinnamon leaf should be used at dilution rates well under 1 percent.
