Cinnamon is a spice that originated in Southeast Asia. The bark, rich in essential oil, is used as a flavoring agent and as a spice. Medicinal uses include appetite stimulation, treatment of arthritis, inflammation, and dyspepsia. In traditional Chinese medicine, cinnamon is used along with other herbs in decoctions to treat colds. In vitro studies have demonstrated that cinnamon has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, antitumor, and antiestrogenic properties.
