植物學名: Cinnamomum zeylanicum

製造精油部份: 皮
萃取方法: 蒸餾法
來源國: 越南
100% 純天然植物精油

肉桂樹的精油可以在樹皮中藉由蒸氣蒸餾而得, 在葉片中也可萃取. 在芳香療法中, 要區分樹皮或葉兩種來源的精油是非常重要, 因為樹皮中萃取出的精油, 具有很強的皮膚刺激性, 千萬不可搽在皮膚上, 而葉片中所萃取的精油, 雖然也具刺激性, 但未如樹皮中的強, 所以必須經過謹慎分辨, 必須清楚明確知道你所用的肉桂精油是製造自那一部份. 一般而言, 肉桂葉的精油較肉桂皮的精油便宜. 如果你看到肉桂精油並沒有標示出自於肉桂那一部份, 最好不要買.

肉桂具有抗痙攣的效果, 對消化不良, 胃腸痙攣, 結腸炎, 腸胃脹氣, 噁心以及腹瀉等問題也很有幫助. 另外, 將肉桂與鼠尾草混合溫熱敷, 對於經期的痙攣也很有療效. 當經期感覺到窒悶及疼痛時, 肉桂精油可作為通經劑. 而傳統上, 肉桂視為一種催情劑, 但必須非常謹慎地使用, 衹使用非常少量的精油用於按摩, 可以產生歡愉及興奮的效果. 肉桂可幫助紓緩疼痛, 驅除傷風及流行性感冒. 它對於任何疾病之後的恢復期都很有幫助. 定期在冬季使用, 可增進抵抗力及幫助預防季節性的感染. 由於這種另人暖和的特性, 對治療循環不良, 肌肉痠痛及關節疼痛用的按摩油裡, 都會加入肉桂精油. 使用於冬天時, 更令人感到舒服. 但使用份量必須非常小心, 稀釋在植物油中所占的分量必須極少, 通常在於整體低於0.5%.

肉桂皮中萃取出的精油, 聞起來的香味就如一般使用的香料.肉桂皮及肉桂葉精油之不同處在於所含的化學成份, 肉桂皮大多數的成份是肉桂醛, 丁香酚, 肉桂酯及其他少量的化學成份. 適合配搭的精油有乳香, 薰衣草, 雪松香柏木, 欖香脂, 安息香, 依蘭, 絲柏, 橙或其他柑橘類精油及一些香料類精油. 屬中至低揮發度精油.

使用禁忌:肉桂皮用在皮膚上, 會刺激皮膚黏膜, 用量必須非常低量. 絕不可在懷孕期間使用.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, synonym C. zeylanicum) is a small evergreen tree 10–15 metres (32.8–49.2 feet) tall, belonging to the family Lauraceae, and is native to China. It has shiny, leathery green leaves, and small, white flowers with oval shaped purple berries.

Its flavor is due to an aromatic essential oil that makes up 0.5% to 1% of its composition. This oil is prepared by roughly pounding the bark, macerating it in seawater, and then quickly distilling the whole. It is of a golden-yellow color, with the characteristic odor of cinnamon and a very hot aromatic taste. The pungent taste and scent come from cinnamic aldehyde or cinnamaldehyde and, by the absorption of oxygen as it ages, it darkens in colour and develops resinous compounds. Chemical components of the essential oil include ethyl cinnamate, eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, beta-caryophyllene, linalool, and methyl chavicol.

Medicinal use of cinnamon bark was first recorded in Chinese formularies as early as 2700 B.C. The herb has been used as a healing aid for stomach upset and gas, diarrhea, rheumatism, kidney ailments, and abdominal pain. The Egyptians used it as a foot massage, as well as a remedy for excessive bile. It was used as an ingredient of mulled wines, love potions and a sedative during birth.
