Cassia Natural Essential Oil

***Cassia Natural Essential Oil – History***

Cassia natural essential oil is extracted from the leaves and flowers of the Cassia tree, scientifically known as Cinnamomum cassia, a member of the Lauraceae family. Originating from Southern China, it is widely cultivated in South and Southeast Asia. The bark oil is more potent and spicy, while the leaf oil is milder. Cassia, also known as Chinese cinnamon, has a long and storied history dating back thousands of years. 

It is mentioned in the Bible multiple times, notably in Exodus 30:24, where it was an ingredient in the holy anointing oil used in the Tabernacle. Considered a symbol of purification and divine blessing, cassia has been used in China for over 4,000 years. It was a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), believed to warm the body, promote circulation, and alleviate digestive issues. Additionally, the ancient Chinese incorporated cassia into religious ceremonies.

The Egyptians utilised cassia, along with cinnamon, for its fragrance in perfumes and incense. Greek and Roman physicians, such as Hippocrates and Dioscorides, documented the medicinal benefits of cassia for digestive and respiratory ailments. During the Medieval and Renaissance periods, cassia became a valuable spice during the spice trade, often mistaken for true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum). It found its way into traditional European herbal medicine, treating infections, colds, and digestive problems. Traders from the Middle East introduced cassia to Europe, where it became a highly sought-after commodity.

⚠️Caution⚠️  Cassia natural essential oil is highly potent and concentrated, requiring careful use to avoid adverse effects. While it offers numerous benefits, improper use can lead to skin irritation, sensitisation, or toxicity. Below are important safety precautions to follow when using cassia essential oil. It is important to follow these precautions to avoid adverse reactions:

  • ***Skin Irritation*** Cassia natural essential oil is a “hot” oil that can cause severe skin irritation or allergic reactions if used undiluted. It poses a higher risk of causing irritation and sensitisation when used in the bath, even if it is solubilised or diluted. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid using cassia oil in the bath. Always dilute properly before topical application. A maximum dilution of 0.05%–0.5% is advised, (e.g., 1 drop in 2 tablespoons of carrier oil). Prioritise safety by conducting a patch test by diluting the oil with a carrier oil (e.g., coconut oil or jojoba oil) and applying a small amount to a inconspicuous area of skin to assess for any adverse reactions. Refrain from contact with the eyes, inner ears, and sensitive regions.
  • ***Pregnancy and Nursing*** Avoid use during pregnancy as cassia oil may stimulate uterine contractions. Not recommended for breastfeeding mothers as it may be too strong for infants.
  • ***Inhalation and Diffusion Precautions*** Cassia natural essential oil has a strong, intense aroma. Avoid prolonged direct inhalation as it may cause headaches or respiratory discomfort. Use only 3–5 drops in a diffuser and ensure proper ventilation. 
  • ***Children and Pets*** Cassia essential oil should not be used on children under the age of 6 unless under professional guidance. Essential oils can be very potent for young children, and some essential oils can be too strong for their sensitive systems. If diffusing in a home with pets, ensure they have an escape route to fresh air. Keep cassia essential oil out of reach of children and pets. 
  • ***Internal Use*** Cassia oil contains high levels of cinnamaldehyde, which can be toxic in large amounts. Do not ingest cassia essential oil unless under professional guidance. Long-term internal use may cause liver or kidney damage.
  • ***Medical Conditions*** Cassia contains coumarins, which may have blood-thinning effects. Avoid if you: Take anticoagulant medications (e.g., Warfarin, Aspirin). Have a bleeding disorder. Are scheduled for surgery? (Stop use at least 2 weeks before). Those with asthma or respiratory issues should avoid inhaling it directly. It’s always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider if you are taking prescription medications or have a medical condition.
  • ***Allergies*** Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to cassia essential oil. Symptoms may include skin irritation, swelling, or respiratory issues. Always discontinue use if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction.

***Note*** Although essential oils have a longstanding history of use and are valued for their potential benefits, individual experiences may vary.

Essential Oil Dilution Guide

Welcome to our essential oil dilution guide for topical and perfume use, where we'll explore the art and science of blending essential oils with carrier oils or alcohol for safe and effective application on the skin. Whether you're new to aromatherapy or seeking to enhance your knowledge, this guide will provide you with practical insights and guidelines for diluting essential oils to maximise their therapeutic benefits while minimising the risk of adverse reactions.

From general dilution ratios for adults to considerations for children, sensitive individuals, and specific applications, we'll equip you with the knowledge and confidence to create customised blends tailored to your needs. Let's dive in and unlock the secrets of safe and effective topical use of essential oils!

Here's a general guide for diluting essential oils for topical use:

1. For Adults: In general, a 2% dilution is considered safe and effective for most adults. This means adding approximately 12 drops of essential oil to 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of carrier oil.

2. For Children and Sensitive Individuals: For children, the elderly, or those with sensitive skin, a lower dilution is recommended. A 1% dilution is typically suitable, which equates to about 6 drops of essential oil per 1 fluid ounce (30 mL) of carrier oil.
3. For Facial Use: The skin on the face is more delicate, so it's best to use a lower dilution. A 1% to 2% dilution is generally appropriate for facial application.

4. For Specific Applications:

* Massage Oil: 2% to 5% dilution (12 to 30 drops of essential oil per 1 fluid ounce of carrier oil).

* 6 to 12 drops of essential oil mixed with a solubiliser such as Solubol (Dispersant) to disperse in water.

* Compress: 1 to 3 drops of essential oil in a bowl of warm or cold water.

* Body Lotion or Cream: 1% to 2% dilution (6 to 12 drops of essential oil per 1 fluid ounce of lotion or cream).

5. Essential Oil Safety: Some essential oils are more potent and may require further dilution. Always check the specific safety guidelines for each essential oil, especially if you're using them for the first time or with specific health conditions.

6. Carrier Oils: Choose a carrier oil that is suitable for your skin type and preferences. Common carrier oils include jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and grapeseed oil.

Remember that these are general guidelines, and individual preferences and sensitivities may vary. It's always a good idea to start with a lower dilution and adjust as needed based on your personal experience and comfort level. If you have any concerns or specific health conditions, consult with a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare professional for personalised guidance.

When creating perfumes with essential oils, you'll typically work with higher concentrations of essential oils compared to topical applications. Here's a general guide for diluting essential oils for perfumery:

1. Perfume Concentration Levels:

* Eau de Cologne: 2% to 5% essential oil concentration

* Eau de Toilette: 5% to 15% essential oil concentration

* Eau de Parfum: 15% to 20% essential oil concentration

* Perfume or Parfum: 20% to 30% or higher essential oil concentration

2. Perfume Formulation:

* Base Notes: Typically make up 15% to 30% of the perfume blend and include heavier, longer-lasting oils such as patchouli, sandalwood, and vetiver.

* Middle Notes: Comprise 30% to 60% of the blend and include floral and herbal oils like lavender, rose, and geranium.

* Top Notes: Make up 10% to 30% of the blend and include lighter, more volatile oils such as citrus oils (e.g., bergamot, lemon, orange) and herbal oils (e.g., basil, peppermint).

3. Perfume Blending:

* Start by blending your chosen essential oils in the desired proportions, considering the base, middle, and top notes.

* Use a pipette or dropper to measure the essential oils accurately.

* Keep track of the total number of drops used to ensure you stay within the desired concentration range for your chosen perfume type.

4. Dilution with Carrier Oil or Alcohol:

* To dilute the essential oil blend, you can use a carrier oil such as jojoba oil, fractionated coconut oil, or grapeseed oil.

* Alternatively, you can dilute the essential oil blend in perfumer's alcohol (such as perfumer's ethanol or high-proof vodka) for a sprayable perfume.

5. Blending Process:

* Add the essential oil blend to the carrier oil or alcohol slowly, mixing well after each addition.

* Test the scent periodically to ensure you achieve the desired fragrance profile and concentration level.

* Allow the perfume blend to mature or "age" for a few days or weeks to allow the scents to meld and develop fully.

6. Adjustments and Personalisation:

* Feel free to adjust the proportions of the essential oils to suit your preferences and create a unique fragrance blend.

* Experiment with different combinations of essential oils and note the effects on the overall scent profile.


Remember that creating perfumes is an art form, and there are no strict rules. Trust your senses and intuition as you explore different essential oil combinations and concentrations to create your signature scent. Keep detailed records of your formulations for future reference and refinement.
