Cinnamon is a tropical evergreen tree native to Sri Lanka. It has strong branches, thick bark, shiny green leaves and small white flowers. Both the bark and leaves produce an essential oil, with the leaf oil being preferred for aromatherapy due to being much less irritant. It has been used in Asia for thousands of years for a variety of complaints.
