Cinnamon was used in ancient Egypt for embalming. In ancient times, Cinnamon was added to food to prevent spoiling. During the Bubonic Plague, sponges were soaked in cinnamon & cloves and placed in sick rooms. Cinnamon was the most sought after spice during explorations of the 15th and 16th centuries. It has also been burned as an incense. The smell of Cinnamon is pleasant, stimulates the senses, yet calms the nerves. It’s smell is reputed to attract customers to a place of business.

Cinnamon is also known by the names Cassia, Sweet Wood, and Gui Zhi. The common name Cinnamon encompasses many varieties, including Cinnamomum cassia and Cinamomum saigonicum, which are used interchangeably with Cinnamomum zeylanicum. The parts of the plant used are the inner bark and twigs.

Cinnamons primary properties are antibacterial, antifungal, aphrodisiac, carminative, digestive tonic, diuretic, and stimulant. The primary known constituents include cinnamaldehyde, gum, tannin, mannitol, coumarins, and essential oils (aldehydes, eugenol, pinene). Cinnamon is generally available as a tea, tincture, and capsules.

Historical culinary uses include apple dishes, baked goods, chocolate, coffee, curries, French toast, eggnog, teas, pickles, puddings, rice dishes, and wine.

Hot apple cider just doesn’t taste the same without a Cinnamon stick. And toast, cookies, candies and fruit salads-not to mention cappuccino-all benefit from a generous sprinkling of its sweet powder. But cinnamon’s most popular work isn’t as a kitchen spice. This herb has been used medicinally for thousands of years to fight tooth decay, clear up urinary tract
infections and soothe stomach irritation.

Ancient Chinese herbal references cite its uses as early as 2700 BC and Chinese herbalists still recommend it for relieving nausea, fever, diarrhea, and menstrual problems. Modern herbalists disagree on its ability to aid in menstrual difficulties; some think it stimulates uterine contractions, while others believe it calms the muscle.
