Question: is cinnamon and cinnamon bark the same thing?
Answer: Cinnamon Leaf, cinnamomum verum, is true cinnamon. It is also from an evergreen tree, this one native to Sri Lanka. ... Cinnamon Bark, from the same plant/tree as Cinnamon Leaf, is one of the primary antifungal and antibacterial essential oils, though it should be used with great care (less than 0.1%) on the skin.
