Cinnamon oil is one of the oldest and most therapeutically rich essential oils in the world, distilled from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum — the true cinnamon tree — a species deeply embedded in traditional medicine systems across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. For centuries, cinnamon bark oil has been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic practice, where it has been prescribed to treat a remarkably broad spectrum of conditions: from arthritis and digestive disorders to menstrual irregularities, yeast infections, respiratory ailments, blood impurities, and cardiovascular disease.
At Anjum Aromatics, our cinnamon oil is carefully distilled from premium bark to produce a dark yellow, clear oily liquid with a rich, sweet, warm, and spicy aroma — the unmistakable fragrance of true Cinnamomum zeylanicum that distinguishes it from cassia and other lower-grade cinnamon derivatives.

In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, cinnamon oil's potent antifungal, antibacterial, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties make it an effective active ingredient in formulations targeting skin infections, oral health, digestive complaints, and respiratory conditions. Its cinnamaldehyde content — the primary active compound — has been extensively studied for its ability to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth across a wide range of pathogenic strains.
For cognitive and neurological health, cinnamon oil has demonstrated meaningful effects on brain function — enhancing focus, improving memory retention, and acting as a natural nerve stimulant during mental fatigue. These properties make it a valued ingredient in aromatherapy blends designed for concentration and meditation, as well as in nootropic and wellness formulations.
In cardiovascular health, cinnamon oil acts as a natural blood thinner — improving circulation, reducing platelet aggregation, and supporting overall heart health. Its blood-purifying properties also contribute to clearer skin and reduced acne by addressing systemic triggers at their source.
Anjum Aromatics supplies cinnamon oil in bulk and wholesale quantities to pharmaceutical manufacturers, Ayurvedic product brands, nutraceutical companies, personal care formulators, fragrance houses, and food flavoring companies across India, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe.
