Exotic Cinnamon

Cinnamon conjures up Eastern trade routes with richly draped camel’s pludding along the sand dunes to their opulent destinations.  It is just about as exotic as you can get really.  In times past it was a prized scent, now relegated to snicker doodle cookies in our Este Lauder world.  Did you know it is one of the ingredients in Coca-Cola?  Cinnamon is wonderful kitchen oil.  You can clean your cutting board with this and presto your kitchen smells like Gramma lives here.  You will be known as a home-cooker of fabulous delights just by having the scent floating around.  Cinnamon is a warming oil, that is why it is mostly used in the winter months.  Putting a droplet in a potpourri crock will give the impression that fresh baked pie is awaiting your return from afar.  So, enjoy the exotic, fragrance of cinnamon, but don’t put it directly on your skin unless you dilute it with a lot of oil.  Clove mixes well with it to make an analgesic rub for arthritis.  I also used it in a hair oil I made once (to grow hair, it didn’t work).  It was an Avacor knock-off (does Avacor work?)
