Cinnamon Essential Oil in India — Uses, Benefits & Price
Cinnamon oil in Hindi: दालचीनी का तेल (dalchini ka tel)

Cinnamon bark oil — dalchini — is one of the two "hot" oils in the range, alongside clove. Steam-distilled from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, it is dominated by cinnamaldehyde: the compound that gives it both its beautiful aroma and its bite on skin.
This is primarily an aromatic oil. dōTERRA Cinnamon comes in 5 ml because one drop scents a whole room, and topical use requires very high dilution — 1 drop per tablespoon of carrier oil at most.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I use cinnamon essential oil in cooking instead of dalchini?
- No. The essential oil is many times more concentrated than the spice and is not intended for home culinary use — a single drop can overpower a dish and irritate the mouth. Use the stick or powder for cooking and the oil for aroma.
- How much cinnamon oil is safe on the skin?
- A maximum of 1 drop in 1 full tablespoon of carrier oil, on a small area, after a patch test. Cinnamon is a known sensitiser, so occasional use is safer than daily application.
- What does cinnamon oil blend well with?
- Wild orange is the classic partner — 1 drop cinnamon to 3 drops orange gives the warmest room in the house. Clove, ginger and frankincense also work beautifully for cooler months.
- What is the price of cinnamon essential oil in India?
- The dōTERRA Cinnamon price on Melini India is shown in INR including tax, with flat ₹99 Pan-India shipping and delivery in 3–7 business days.
