Warm, Sweet Vital Herb
The origins of cinnamon bark are to be found in the mountainous, densely forested expanses of northern Burma. Chinese cinnamon is an evergreen tree with thick, leathery leaves and summer blooms of yellow flowers. The plant's inner bark is a vital tonic that is considered one of the fifty fundamental herbs of Chinese herbology. Chinese cinnamon bark is a sweet, pungent herb that works with astragalus to promote proper circulation of the blood. It is also used in herbal preparations to lower blood pressure, control infection and relieve indigestion. Dr. Lee tells us that cinnamon bark is an effective warming agent that supplements the body fire and reinforces the Yang.
