Overview

Cassia Essential Oil

Our Cassia Oil is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It’s an evergreen tree native to China and Burma. Cassia is commonly known as Chinese cinnamon, and its scientific name is Cinnamomum cassia. Cassia essential oil, or cassia bark oil, is derived by steam distillation of the cassia bark, leaves and twigs.


Cassia is similar to true cinnamon (sometimes called Ceylon cinnamon) and mimics some cinnamon benefits and uses. They’re from the same botanical family, and they both have a spicy, warm aroma — but cassia bark oil is sweeter than cinnamon.


Cassia oil, like frankincense oil, myrrh and several other herbs and oils, is also included in the Bible as an important essential oil.


Cassia is cultivated in southern and eastern Asia, including India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. In the United States, the United Kingdom and India, cassia is the most common type of cinnamon used. Cassia is an evergreen tree from the Cinnamomum family that grows to be around 32 feet tall. The bark is a gray color and the leaves are hard and elongated, growing to be about four inches long.


Cassia bark, both powdered and in “stick” form, is used as a flavoring agent for confectionery, desserts, pastries and meat; it’s also specified in many curry recipes. Typically, cassia is sold as pieces of bark or sticks, but it’s easy to find cassia bark oil in your local health food store. The chief constituents of cassia oil are benzaldehyde, chavicol, cinnamic aldehyde, cinnamyl acetate and linalool.
