A close relative to Cinnamon, Cassia has a strong, spicy aroma that can be used in small quantities to transform any essential oil blend. It’s one of the few essential oils mentioned in the Old Testament, noted for its unmistakable fragrance and calming properties. It is a great oil to diffuse during cold weather due to its warming properties and spicy scent. Due to its caustic nature, Cassia should be diluted with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil when applied to the skin and can be very strong when inhaled directly. When diluted, Cassia can help soothe the body. Along with its uplifting aroma, Cassia oil can also produce feelings of excitement.
