Cinnamon leaf & Cinnamon bark

[raina_vissora]

I am trying to find a few oils that will aid me in focus and concentration while I work online 4-8 hours a day.

Can anyone please tell me what the difference is between the Cinnamon leaf and bark?

And which would be suited best to my needs.

Thanks. SH.

Don't know about the cinnamon, but Rosemary is wonderful for focussing the mind!

Basil is good too

Go for the Cinnamon Bark oil as apparently the Cinnamon leaf oil doesn't have as many healing properties so may not do what you want it to do.

Cinnamon can cause skin irritation so make sure it's well diluted.

Rosemary, lemon, basil (ct linalool), petitgrain are all good for concentration/focus.

Both cinnamon bark and leaf oils can be skin irritants due to the amounts of eugenol in them. If using though, I'd go for the cinnamon leaf and use it very well diluted.

Hope this helps you.

Hi there
As others as have suggested Rosemary ct cineole is a great oil for thinking and improving mental energy. I also have had very good results with Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) if you need to focus, as you say, in a calm way. Its seems to help in terms of providing a space in which not to get distracted but allows clear thinking. A tiny amount of peppermint on a tissue will work in a different way to clear the head and wake you up if you feel dull/sleepy.
Good luck!
