Cassia Bark CO2

Cinnamomum Cassia


Plant Origin: China

Extraction Method: CO2 extraction from bark

Key Constituents:

Cinnamic Aldehyde 70-88%

2-Methoxycinnamaldehyde 3-15%

Coumarin 1.5-6%

Cinnamyl Acetate 0-6%



Cassia has a rich Biblical history and its aroma is very similar to Cinnamon Bark, but they are chemically quite different. We prefer not to carry oils from China, but this is the only source for Cassia that we are aware of. Cassia CO2 extract is more powerful and finer than Cassia leaf that is steam distilled.



Indications:
Anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral and anticoagulant. Useful for fungal infections such as ringworm and candida, atherosclerosis and arterosclerosis.

Application:
Topical:
Dilute 1 part Cassia Bark to 4 parts carrier oil and apply on location as desired
Inhalation: Diffuse (may irritate the nasal membranes if inhaled directly from diffuser
Internal: Generally regarded as safe to take internally

 

What is CO2?

CO2 extracts, like absolutes, are solvent extracted products. The key difference is that the solvent in this case is simply CO2 or Carbon Dioxide (that's the same stuff you exhale with every breath!). Carbon dioxide is a gas under normal atmospheric conditions, but under certain conditions of low temperature and high pressure, Carbon Dioxide can be forced to become a liquid. In the liquid phase CO2 is a good solvent for extracting out the aromatic molecules from plants. Once the desired extraction is complete, the extraction vessel is brought back to normal atmospheric conditions, and the CO2 rapidly converts back to a gas and dissipates, leaving behind a very high-quality aromatic product that is the true, unchanged essence of the plant and completely free of solvent! CO2 Selects are obtained at lower pressures and more closely compare to the volatility of essential oils since less of the heavier waxy materials are extracted. CO2 Totals are obtained at higher pressures to get out the volatiles along with the heavier molecules and plant waxes that would not be seen in essential oils. These will typically be thicker.

Safety:

Avoid eye contact. In case of accidental contact, put a few drops of any pure vegetable oil in the eye. Water will not adequately dilute the oil. We’ve never known this to cause permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your doctor if necessary.
