Cinnamomum tamala (Tejpatta / Tamalpatra)
High-Resolution Venation & Oil Glands
Sub-Himalayan Cultivation Zone
The Organicsio Advantage
Our Cinnamomum tamala is sourced exclusively from high-altitude plantations in the North-Eastern Himalayas to maximize essential oil density. Organicsio employs strict chemotyping protocols to distinguish between Eugenol-rich and Cinnamaldehyde-rich variants, ensuring consistency for pharmaceutical formulations. All lots undergo heavy metal screening (Lead, Cadmium) and are shade-dried to preserve the volatile aromatic integrity often lost in mechanical heating.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The leaf oil is characterized by a high concentration of phenylpropanoids. Our standard assays validate Eugenol content > 45% and significant traces of β-caryophyllene and linalool. This specific chemotype exhibits potent antioxidant properties and insulin-sensitizing activity, making it a prime candidate for Type-2 Diabetes management supplements and gastrointestinal therapeutics.
