DESCRIPTIONS
A close relative of true cinnamon, cassia essential oil has a spicy scent which is reminiscent of winter holidays. Scent some homemade pine cone potpourri with cassia, sweet orange, and coriander essential oils. A drop of Cassia essential oil can also be diffused with equal parts of Clove Bud and Sweet Orange to bring back holiday memories. Cassia essential oil is sometimes used as part of a topically applied warming blend, but great care must be taken as this is an oil which can easily irritate skin.
DIRECTIONS
In healthy adults with intact skin who wish to use cassia as part of a warming blend, dip a toothpick into the bottle through the orifice reducer and then remove, swirling the toothpick in 1 ounce of carrier oil; this is all that is needed for a safe dilution; add 3 drops of sweet orange and 2 drops of black pepper or coriander essential oils to complete the blend.
