Cinnamon Bark essential oil is highly anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-coagulant, circulatory stimulant and antiparasitic.  It is effective against infectious diseases, viral infections, digestive complaints, ulcers and warts.  Cinnamon is very potent and can be irritating to the skin and should always be diluted.  It might also be irritating to the nasal passages if inhaled directly from the bottle or a diffuser.   Dilute 1 part essential oil (EO) with 4 parts of a carrier oil like Young Living’s V-6 oil.
