However, until the 16th century, only Chinese cinnamon was known in the West. The cinnamon from Sri Lanka has a more delicate aroma and is now the variety most commonly found in Europe.
Scientifically Supported Applications: The German Commission E and ESCOP recommend the use of cinnamon bark for digestive complaints, such as gas and spasmodic disturbances, as well as for anorexia, and ESCOP also for diarrhea. Scientific studies using cell systems have demonstrated the antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effects of cinnamon essential oil. Additionally, its efficacy against various strains of fungi and bacteria has been proven.
