There are various types of cinnamon trees and they produce oil from steam distillation of the oil. Cinnamon bark oil is very strong and must be used sparingly. We recommend that you always dilute cinnamon bark oil to less that 1% when applying topically. You may add 1% of cinnamon bark to a carrier oil and use in a massage oil. Because of the antimicrobial and anti fungal properties, you may use cinnamon bark oil as a mouth wash.
