I use this essential oil in a blend to aid in lowering blood sugar. It's also used in my lowering blood pressure blends. The smell is a gentle cinnamon and makes me feel satisfied and quells any hungry feelings. It's nice to diffuse with other oils in a blend. I have read that using it has helped some with headaches. The next time I have a headache, I will try it to see. Very useful oil because it even helps fight against fungal infections and such so it's easy to add to vodka and use on my feet before wearing shoes. Well worth the money and I would buy it again.
Very interesting essential oil with smell of cinnabon with zero kkal. Good thing for your limic system!
