Abstract

Cinnamon is a tropical evergreen tree that belongs to the Lauraceae family. It has long been used as a spice and is historically used for flavouring food and in pharmaceutical preparations to treat a variety of diseases. The material on Cinnamomum's pharmacological activities is fragmented and lacking in well-documented form. We attempted to compile its extensive medical and pharmacological features, as well as current patents awarded on Cinnamomum uses around the world, in this review.
