Cassia derives from a plant called Cinnamomum cassia. Cassia oil comes from the bark of this plant and is usually reddish-brown to gray in color. This bark is pungent and thicker than cinnamon bark. The cassia plant grows in locations such as China, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
Cassia is a warm and spicy essential oil with a myriad of benefits that can help the mind and the body. For centuries, this sister to the cinnamon spice has been used internally to maintain physical health and aromatically to support emotional well-being. I think of Cassia as the warm fire in the fireplace, flannel shirt and cozy blanket of essential oils. I love diffusing it in the fall and winter months for its homey, comforting aroma and many health benefits. By the way, Cassia is pronounced "CASH-sha".
