Is this real cinnamon oil, or is it cassia oil? I am using this for herbal medicine and it needs to be real cinnamon

On January 7 2015, I wrote the following to info@olivenation.com : "Hello, Is your cinnamon oil from cassia? Or genuine cinnamon? Thank you in advance for your reply. Ann Childers, MD" The same day I received the following answer: "Hi It is from the leaf of the cassia cinnamon plant. Thank you. Amit." So it is cassia, and not true cinnamon. I hope this is helpful. If you locate genuine cinnamon oil, please post. Thank you!

The ingredients on the bottle are listed as "Pure Cinnamon Leaf Oil" so yes, it's real cinnamon.

I pulled a spec sheet from the Olive Nation website and it said it was made in Sri Lanka which is where Ceylon Cinnamon grows so it sounds like this is the real deal. I will be putting my order in soon.

This oil is FAKE!!! It is NOT pure 100% essential oil. One of the characteristics of a pure essential oil is that you put a couple of drops of the essential oil on white paper and let it evaporate. There should be NO mark left after the oil has evaporated. This oil leaves an ugly mark. I bought two bottles of this essential oil and I learned after a few months on how to check the purity. Once I found out this oil is not pure, I threw it in the garbage. If you don't know what is in the oil, you are risking your health. There are a lot of vendors on Amazon.com selling fake products.

It is not tea tree oil. It is WHITE CEDAR OIL, also known as thuja occidentals.

True cinnamon is also known as ceylon cinnamon and has some different properties from cassia cinnamon. However, they are from the same family of plant and very similar. I use the oil as an insecticide against ants and spiders. Both oils work great for this. Natural and safe. If using for health purposes, make sure you check with a doctor. Cassia is higher in coumarin, which is an anti-coagulant. As for just scents for the home (or against insects like I use it), both work great. I choose the Cassia which is cheaper. Both oils will kill and chase away ants/spiders.

Pretty much it's the same five oils so they are relatively the same. I put a little more cinnamon in mine because I like to use it with my toothpaste. And I rub it on the bottom of my feet to help fight off the cold/flu bug.

According to their website www.simplyorganic.com, NO. Their powdered "cinnamons" are either Cinnamomum burmannii or Cinnamomum loureirii which are considered cassia, not Cinnamomum verum or "Ceylon/True Cinnamon".

This is not true Ceylon cinnamon, cinnamomum vera. It is listed in the list of ingredients as "cinnamomum cassia", more commonly known as chinese cinnamon, a more generic version.

I think it's more for flavor. I have read that ceylon cinnamon is what you need to consume for health benefits!!

From what I have read from the internet, coumarin is a natural or integral component of cinnamon. It did not come from an external source. When a product is organic, it just means no harmful chemical got added to it either from using pesticides in growing the plant or use of chemicals or solvents during the processing of the product in the form that it will be sold. This species of Ceylon cinnamon is supposed to be lower in coumarin content than the cassia species that is sold in spice bottles and that is the reason I bought it and it is supposed to be organic and non-GMO or not genetically modified.

I would say that non of it, I bought 5 different oils at the same time and all some fake junk oils not even smells like the real oil of peppermint or cinnamon and so that I purchased, I personally will not buy anything from that company any more

I transferred this to a glass, air tight container for long term storage, instead of leaving in the plastic "jar" it came in. So unfortunately, I don't have the container any longer. However, their website states that it's "native to Sri Lanka and Southern India". You may want to contact them directly for more information. Their website is indusorganics.com. I hope you find the information you're looking for. This true cinnamon is definitely worth the additional cost and then some. &#128077; &#128079;

This is very strong stuff. Atleast I think it is. Great for cinnamon drinks, candy etc. and I am talking using very little for the cinnamon taste and smell. I really don't think using it on the skin is very wise. It is not like any body cream or butter that I know of. I is a favoring oil, not a rubbing oil.

Pure Cinnamon Oil. Be careful though.I put it with Coffee Beans in my Electric Grinder and it left little melted spots on the clear plastic cover.I also got some on my hands and it burned worse than when I was scooping out Jalapeno seeds. They should replace the defensive Pepper Spray with Cinnamon Spray.

I looked on the bottle and all it says is organic cinnamon. Sorry I couldn't help.

The packaging only says "cinnamon" without other explanation. It says "for questions, you can write The Minister of Supply, P.O. Box 1589&lt; Novato, CA 94948-1589." There is some poetic reference to India on the packaging, but it pertains to the cardamom. About the cinnamon, it only says "derived from the bark of a small evergreen."
