Synopsis

Cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum verum J. Presl), commonly known as Ceylon or true cinnamon, is one of the oldest medicinal spices used worldwide in traditional and modern healthcare systems. It has been extensively employed in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and other indigenous systems for the management of digestive disorders, diabetes, respiratory diseases, microbial infections, and inflammatory conditions. In recent years, growing scientific evidence has validated many of its traditional therapeutic claims, establishing cinnamon as a promising functional food and nutraceutical with significant health-promoting properties. The biological activities of cinnamon bark are primarily attributed to its diverse phytochemical profile, including trans-cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, cinnamic acid, procyanidins, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic acids, and essential oils, which collectively exhibit potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory, and anticancer effects.
