Background
- Cinnamon has been used as a spice around the world for centuries. It has also been used for its possible healing benefits. It has been used to improve stomach health and gas prevention. The only two species that are approved as medicinal herbs in the genus Cinnamomum areCinnamomum zeylanicum and C. cassia. The bark is used as a spice and is called cinnamon bark.
- There is a lack of evidence supporting the use of cinnamon for any medical condition.
- Cinnamon has been studied for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Although there are conflicting results, many trials suggest significant blood sugar-lowering effects. Cinnamon has been shown to be effective in improving both blood sugar and insulin metabolism.
- Cinnamon is also believed to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant benefits. Research is ongoing in terms of its possible use for cancer or severe viral infections.

Interactions
Interactions with Drugs
- Cinnamon may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with drugs that increase the risk of bleeding. Some examples include aspirin, anticoagulants ("blood thinners") such as warfarin (Coumadin?) or heparin, anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix?), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin?, Advil?) or naproxen (Naprosyn?, Aleve?).
- Cinnamon may lower blood sugar levels. Caution is advised when using medications that may also lower blood sugar. People taking drugs for diabetes by mouth or insulin should be monitored closely by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist. Medication adjustments may be necessary.
- Cinnamon may cause low blood pressure. Caution is advised in people taking drugs that lower blood pressure.
- Cinnamon may interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver's "cytochrome P450" enzyme system. As a result, the levels of these drugs may be increased in the blood, and may cause increased effects or potentially serious adverse reactions. People using any medications should check the package insert, and speak with a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, about possible interactions.
- Cinnamon may also interact with agents that may affect the immune system, agents that may affect the nervous system, agents that may be harmful to the liver, agents that may increase light sensitivity, agents that may treat abnormal heart rhythms, agents that may treat retrovirus infections (HIV), alcohol, Alzheimer's agents, anti-asthmatic agents, antibiotics, anticancer agents, antifungal agents, anti-gout agents, anti-inflammatories, anti-obesity agents, anti-spasm agents, antiviral agents, aspirin, cholesterol-lowering agents, dexamethasone, drugs that affect GABA, estrogens, indomethacin, insect repellants, pain relievers, skin agents, stomach agents, sympathomimetic agents, terfenadine, and tetracyclines.
