Description

In traditional Nepalese medicine, Suganda Kokila oil has been used mainly for its analgesic, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used to relieve muscle and joint pain and as a treatment for respiratory conditions. Local communities also use it as a remedy for digestive problems and as a tonic for the nervous system.

The use of Suganda Kokila oil is deeply rooted in the culture and traditional medicine of Himalayan communities. For generations, Suganda Kokila berries have been harvested and distilled to extract their oil, which is then used in healing practices, as well as religious ceremonies and purification rituals.

In the Himalayas, Suganda Kokila oil is produced sustainably by steam-distilling the tree's berries, respecting the tree's life cycle and traditional agricultural practices. As we work with local producers and wild plants, this oil is not always available.

  • Anti-inflammatory: Known for its ability to reduce inflammation and relieve muscle and joint pain.
  • Antiseptic and antimicrobial: Has properties that help combat bacterial and fungal infections.
  • Calming and relaxing: Used in aromatherapy to reduce stress and anxiety and promote relaxation.

Common name confusion

Suganda Kokila essential oil has often been confused with "bay berry oil" (in fact, we previously listed it under that name) because of the common names given to these oils over the years. However, there are significant differences between Bay and Suganda Kokila, both in their botanical origins and in their uses and properties, making it more appropriate to refer to Suganda Kokila oil as "Nepalese Cinnamon".

Conservation Status

Although it is not classified as endangered, Cinnamomum glaucescens faces threats from deforestation and unsustainable harvesting of its berries in some regions. This is why the Circular Economy is an effective and necessary protective measure. It is vital to the ecology of Himalayan forests and to traditional Nepalese medicine.

Appearance: Clear liquid, pale yellow to golden yellow

Precautions

Not for use by pregnant women or children. People with sensitive skin should take care as it may cause irritation; they should not use it in baths or massages.

Do not apply directly to the skin. Dilute in a carrier oil or follow the recommended usage rate for creams and other cosmetics. This rate should be 1% or 2% at most.

Taxonomy

Botanical name: Cinnamomum glaucescens - Family: Lauraceae - Genus: Cinnamomum

Cinnamomum glaucescens, commonly known as Suganda Kokila or Nepalese cinnamon, is a tree in the Lauraceae family, endemic to the mountainous Himalayan regions of Nepal. It grows at altitudes between 1,000 and 2,500 metres above sea level, preferably in humid climates. It can reach heights of between 6 and 20 metres, with a straight trunk and greyish to dark-brown bark that peels off in thin scales. Its leaves are simple, alternate, elliptical to lanceolate, dark green above and lighter below, with a spicy aroma when crushed. The small hermaphroditic flowers, white to pale yellow, bloom in spring and release a gentle spicy scent. The fruit is a small spherical berry that ripens to dark red or black and is the main source of Suganda Kokila essential oil.
