For ages, the scent of this Asian tree bark has graced the culinary shelf as well as the magickal altar. It has been favored as an incense ingredient for centuries and was a highly valued commodity along the early trade routes. With such a rich history, it is unfortunate that many modern-day aromatherapists and magicians have let it slip from their list of ingredients. However, this is not without good reason. Cinnamon oil is perhaps one of the most irritating of all the essentials. Some of the more sensitive of us may find the burning sensation caused by the slightest skin contact nearly unbearable. So, although it is included in this presentation, it is imperative that its properties as an irritant are emphasized. Avoid direct skin contact! Also be aware that, should the skin come into contact with cinnamon oil, wash with cold water. Hot water will open the pores and compound the irritation.<\/p>\n
