Traditionally used to support the endocrine and nervous system, mental clarity, brain function, vitality and to soothe minor stress and nervous tension.
Internal: Not suitable orally due to Dalmatian Sage.
Children: Cinnamon is not recommended internally for children under 6 years old, and use with caution and in greater dilution for children older than six. May be sensitizing due to aldehydes. Cinnamon is on the “avoid” if pregnant list. Do not use in cases of hemophilia or severe kidney or liver disease. Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
