Ceylon Cinnamon is a Sri Lankan indigenous plant which grows into moderate size bushy evergreen tree. True cinnamon, dates back in Chinese writings to 2800 BC and is still known as "Kwai" in the Cantonese language today. Its botanical name derives from the Hebraic and Arabic term "amomon", meaning fragrant spice plant. From their word for cannon, Italians called it "canella", meaning "little tube," which aptly describes cinnamon sticks. The Ceylon Cinnamon belongs to the family “Lauraceae” or Laurel, which contains about 250+ species, a family containing diverse genera ranging from the Mediterranean Bay Tree, to Sassafras and Paw-Paw.
In the first century AD, Pliny the Elder wrote off 350 grams of Cinnamon as being equal in value to over five kilograms of silver, about fifteen times the value of silver per weight. In the 17th century, the Dutch seized the worlds largest Cinnamon supplier, the island of Ceylon, from the Portuguese, demanding outrageous quotas from the poor labouring Chalia caste. When the Dutch learned of a source of Cinnamon along the coast of India, they bribed and threatened the local king to destroy it all; thus, preserving their monopoly on the prized spice. In 1795, England seized Ceylon from the French, who had acquired it from their victory over Holland during the Revolutionary Wars. By 1833, the downfall of the Cinnamon monopoly had begun when other countries found it could be easily grown in such areas as Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Mauritius, Réunion and Guyana. Cinnamon is now also grown in South America, the West Indies and other tropical climates.
Cinnamon Bark has been used for thousands of years in traditional Eastern and Western medicines. It appears in recorded history dating back to at least 1700 years BCE, where it was a component of embalming fluid in ancient Egypt. The Arabs were avid spice traders who provided this spice to the ancient Romans, Greeks and Hebrews. These cultures treasured Cinnamon as a spice. It is believed that it was added to a spiced wine referred to as "Hippocras".
European explorers considered Cinnamon to be the most sought after spice of the 15th and 16th centuries and by the 17th century, it was considered a common kitchen spice. By the 19th century, Cinnamon was commonly used to support digestion.  In Ayurveda, this spice is referred to as "twak". It is a highly valued and multipurpose herb. According to the Ayurvedic practitioner, Karta Khalsa said: "the classic patient who can benefit from cinnamon is cold, dry and frail". Cinnamon is considered to be a warming herb that is stimulating to the circulatory system and soothing to the digestive system. Being high in antioxidants it is good for overall health.
Cinnamon is used to flavour a variety of foods, from confections to curries to beverages, and is popular in bakery goods in many places. Essential oil is distilled from the bark fragments for use in food, liqueur, perfume and drugs; and must be used with caution as a fragrance as it does have skin sensitizing properties.

Properties:

The taste and energetics of True Cinnamon are warming, stimulating, astringent and drying. Cinnamon has an affinity towards the digestive system, circulatory system, immune system, respiratory system, musculoskeletal system, pancreas and spleen. Combine Cinnamon with Fenugreek, Ashwagandha or Moringa to support the pancreas. For the musculoskeletal system mix with Turmeric Root, Ginger Root and Cardamom Seed.

I loved it
The texture is amazing, too expensive for its size and it doesn’t last.

So far so good after 3 washes
A noticeable difference after washing my face just 3 times so far with the soap. My face felt softer and smoother. It's not harsh, doesn't dry out my face, or leave soap residue. I will definitely continue to use it.

Different from the Seller's pictures, but it's a pretty good bar of soap for the price!
DISCLAIMER: the pictures that I have added here are 1 week after using the soap, and I kept the soap in the box on my tub until it got too wet and I threw out the box... then decided to keep the box to take pics and do a review. This soap is 5oz and a nice chunk of soap for the price! It's about the same size of the box, but the picture and brand that the seller has of the soap is different from what I received.... a dark red/orange soap from Natrulo truly natural? It actually has been working fine for me and my daughter, but I would love to try the same soap and brand that I paid for as advertised by Amazon (which is why I gave this 3 stars... if it was the same soap and brand I would give it 4 since I just started using it). I'll contact the seller to see if I can get the same soap and then do another review. Thanks!
