ABSTRACT:
Cinnamomum is a genus belonging to the Lauraceae family and has been traditionally used for medicinal and culinary purposes. Southern India and Sri Lanka are the native habitats of the Cinnamomum genus. The two most significant types of cinnamon are Ceylon and cassia, this can be bought on marketplaces in both Europe and the US. Cinnamon is rich in phytochemicals such asPhyto alkaloids, Bioflavonoids, proteins, glycosides, phenols, terpenoids, tannins, and carbohydrates. The most significant components of cinnamon are cinnamaldehyde, cinnamate and cinnamic acid which are found in the essential oil and contribute to the aroma and numerous biological properties associated with cinnamon. Cinnamon is used in a variety of goods, including traditional spices, incense, fragrances, and food. It is also used in Ayurvedic medicine to regulate the Vata and Pitta elements in the body. It's been discovered that cinnamon possesses anti-diabetic, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-HIV activity, wound healing, and anti-anxiety and depression properties. This review article offers comprehensive insights into theplant morphology, ancestral uses, chemical constituents with their pharmacological actions of various species of cinnamon as medicine.
