Natural Miracles

The oil of cassia is also used as an effective natural treatment for arthritic joints on account of its anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic properties. Cassia essential oil is known to stimulate the flow of blood to the joints by strengthening the circulatory system which in turn increases the supply of oxygen to the joints. The added oxygen received by the joints helps in strengthening the nearby muscles and tissues by adding nutrients and also warms the surrounding tissues thereby providing relief from the discomfort and pain associated with arthritis.

As a precautionary measure while using cassia oil, it should not be applied directly on the skin as it may damage the surface of the skin and even burn it.
