| Remarks | In China, the bark of C. cassia is called "Rougui" and the tender twigs are called "Guizhi". "Rougui" and "Guizhi" have different beneficial effects. "Rougui" is a medicine for warming up the inside of the body (see "Drug effect in traditional medicine"). The effects of "Guizhi" are to make the body pungent and warm, and dispell pathogenic factors from the exterior of the body. The following are the benefits: dispelling pathogenic factors from the exterior of the body by diaphoresis, warming up and clearing the channels, reinforcing yang and promoting the flow of qi. "Guizhi" is applied to treat common cold, vague pain in epigastric region, blood stasis, aching joints, retention of water in the body, edema, palpitation and running piggy (a feeling of mass of gas ascending within the abdomen like running piggies). In Japan, the usage of C. cassia is similar to that of "Guizhi". Ceylon Cinnamon, the bark of the trunk of C. verum J.S. Presl, is called Cinnamon Bark and it is a well known spice all over the world. Thai Cinnamon is derived from C. iners Reinw. ex Blume and Java Cinnamon is from C. burmanni Blume. Japanese "Nikkei" is the root bark of C. sieboldii Meissn (Jap. name: Nikkei). - The botanical name has been revised from Cinnamomum cassia Blume to C. cassia J. Presl since its 18th edition of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. | |||||
