Cinnameldehyde supports cardiac and endocrine balance.
Cinnamaldehyde (77.1%) was also found to be the major constituent of volatile oil of the bark of C. zeylanicum (Marongiu et al. 2007). Several studies have demonstrated that cinnamaldehyde has antimicrobial (Ooi et al. 2006), antimutagenic (Shaughnessy et al. 2001), antitumorigenic (Ka et al. 2003) and immunomodulatory activities (Koh et al. 1998); furthermore, cinnamaldehyde is considered to possess tyrosinase-inhibitory effects with IC50 values from 0.52~0.97 mM (Lee 2002; Lee et al. 2000; Ngoc et al. 2009).

Energetic Benefits: This very stimulating essential oil enters at the solar plexus and works on the digestion -- pulls energy in through the spleen, then to the stomach and liver, activating those three chakras and then also energizing the adrenal glands. -Star Johnsen-Moser, Intuitive Energetic Healer.
