Cinnamon Essential Oil is very useful in fighting indigestion problems. Cinnamon has at times been alleged for causing skin irritation. The fragrance of this oil is more suggestive of the aroma of clove rather than cinnamon. It can be ascribed to the presence of a larger amount of eugenol in it. These days, more and more people are going in for the cinnamon oil massage, which can be attributed to its soothing, comforting and soporific effects.
