Cassia Blume).Family: Lauraceae.Other Names: Canelle de Chine (French); Chin. Zimtbaum (German); cassia lignea (Italian).Description: C. aromaticum is a large evergreen tree of up to 10 m in height with simple, alternate leaves that are three-nerved from the base. The inconspicuous flowers are yellowish white and are followed by round drupes of about 8 mm in diameter. It may be distinguished from true cinnamon (C. verum ) by the alternate leaves (opposite or subopposite in C. verum ) and by the smaller, rounded fruit (larger - ca. 15 mm, and oblong in C. verum ).Origin: Myanmar, formerly Burma. The tree has a long history of commercial cultivation in China, Indonesia and Vietnam.Parts Used: Bark from the tree trunk, but with the outer cork layers removed (Cinnamomi chinessis cortex ); the dried flowers (Cinnamomi flos = Cassiae flos) and essential oil (Cinnamomum cassiae aetheroleum )Therapeutic Category: Appetite stimulant, dyspeptic disorders.Active Ingredients: Bark contains volatile oil with cinnamaldehyde as the main constituent (about 90%) and other derivatives of cinnamate. It is easily distinguished from real cinnamon (C. verum ) by the presence of 0.45% coumarin and the almost complete absence of eugenol (except for a provenance from Nigeria). Bark is rich in procyanidins, phenylpropanoids and mucilage.Pharmacological Effects: Antispasmodic, choleretic, hypotensive and antiseptic properties, amongst many others, have been documented for mostly the oil. Antispasmodic activity has been linked to cinnamaldehyde.Status: Pharm.; Comm. E+; WHO 1. Botanical Name: Cinnamomum cassia Extraction Method: steamPlant: leavesOrigin: Vietnam
