Cinnamon leaf oil has a long history in traditional medicine across various cultures, where it was used for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as for relieving muscle aches and respiratory issues.
Unlike cinnamon bark oil, which requires stripping the tree bark, cinnamon leaf oil is produced via a more sustainable harvesting method, as the leaves can be gathered without harming the tree, allowing multiple harvests from the same tree.
The main growing regions for cinnamon trees used in leaf oil production are Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Seychelles, with each area yielding oils with slightly distinct characteristics due to local growing conditions and different cinnamon varieties.
