Cinnamon spice (from powder or oil) simulates heat by irritating the nerve endings in taste buds. The nerve channels are linked to the nerves that sense hot and cold. There is very little actual increase in temperature. Other spices that affect these nerves are piperine (pepper) and capsaicins (chili peppers), and all can produce a burning sensation in the eyes or on sensitive skin.

Unlike stick or ground cinnamon, which is made from the cinnamon tree bark, cinnamon oil is also made from the plant leaves and is also used in aromatherapy.
