Cinnamomum glaucescens Wild crafted in Nepal
Sugandha Kokila, often referred to as "White Cinnamon," is an essential oil steam-distilled from the dried berries of Cinnamomum glaucescens. Native to the Himalayan regions of Nepal, Bhutan, and northeastern India, this oil is characterized by a spicy, camphoraceous aroma that carries notes of cinnamon and eucalyptus. Due to its unique scent profile and therapeutic value, it has a long history of use in perfumery and traditional Ayurvedic medicine.
A primary benefit of Sugandha Kokila is its ability to provide the therapeutic properties of cinnamon without the high risk of dermal irritation associated with Cinnamon Bark oil. It is frequently used to address skin wounds, muscle spasms, and inflammation. As a warming stimulant, it supports the digestive system by relieving bloating and indigestion, while also enhancing circulation. Additionally, its antiviral and antimicrobial properties make it effective for immune support and clearing respiratory congestion.
Functioning as a nervine tonic, this oil supports the central nervous system to reduce fatigue and mental fog. It is utilized to promote mental clarity, focus, and emotional balance. By dissolving emotional stagnation, Sugandha Kokila helps restore vitality and encourages relaxation during times of stress, exhaustion, or low motivation.
