Cinnamon 5 ml - doTERRA Essential Oils

Cinnamon is derived from a tropical, evergreen tree that grows up to 45 feet high and has highly fragrant bark, leaves, and flowers. Extracted from bark, Cinnamon oil’s stimulating aroma supports that get up and go feeling during the winter months. Cinnamon has a long history of culinary uses, adding spice to desserts, main meals, and hot drinks. Only one to two drops are needed as a food flavor.
