Chinese cinnamon essential oil has numerous benefits, such as:
- Powerful anti-infective properties(trans-cinnamaldehyde): Chinese cinnamon essential oil destroys the fungi responsible for lung infections and candidiasis. It is effective against respiratory, intestinal, digestive, urinary, and gynecological infections.
- Antiparasitic ( trans-cinnamaldehyde): Chinese cinnamon essential oil is effective against lice and nits, as well as intestinal parasites (worms).
Chinese cinnamon essential oil is renowned for its remarkable antibacterial action. Studies, including one conducted by Diego F. Firmino in 2018, have confirmed its effectiveness against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Cinnamaldehyde causes ions to leak from bacterial membranes, thereby enhancing its antibacterial power. In addition, it demonstrates antibacterial biofilm activity, a significant advantage in the fight against infections.
Chinese cinnamon essential oil has been shown to be effective against lice, nits, and certain intestinal parasites. Studies, including one conducted by Andrew R. Williams et al. in 2015, have highlighted the effect of cinnamaldehyde on the larvae of Ascaris suum, an intestinal worm. This compound instantly immobilizes the parasites and eliminates them within a few hours.
Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of Chinese cinnamon essential oil against Candida albicans, a fungus responsible for many fungal infections. In just 15 minutes, it inhibits the growth of this fungus. Furthermore, it is also effective against dermatophytes, thereby aiding in the management of skin fungal infections.
Although few studies have been conducted on its mechanism of action against viruses, research has confirmed its effectiveness against various human viruses, includingherpes and the influenza virus. Chinese cinnamon essential oil is used as a sexual stimulant, thanks to its tonic and aphrodisiac properties. Cinnamaldehyde stimulates progesterone production in men, as demonstrated by a 2009 study by Yoko Iwaoka et al. Furthermore, its vasodilatory effect creates a sensation of warmth when used in sensual massage.
Chinese cinnamon essential oil also has antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative stress.
