Cinnamon, the common and beloved spice, is also a remarkable herbal medicine. It is the bark of several tree species native to wet tropical climates, including India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Myanmar.

Cinnamomum verum, “true Cinnamon,” is less pungent and more subtle than its counterpart C. cassia, and very nice for teas. It is also far lower in blood-thinning coumarins, making it much safer to consume in large amounts. The plant’s volatile oils, mostly cinnamaldehyde, are the main source of its unique scent and flavor. Other components include cinnamyl alcohol, cinnamic acid, and anthocynin.
