Properties of mother cinnamon tincture
Cinnamon is a spice with aphrodisiac properties that comes from an evergreen tree native to eastern Asia. Very well known, it is used in the kitchen but not only; it is also known as a natural remedy for colds, nervous hunger and menstrual pain .
Usually present as a dried ingredient in decoctions and herbal teas, it is sold in cylindrical sticks called cannoli and is also commercially available in the form of essential oil or mother tincture to be used in drops.
The essential oil that contains the plant and which acts as an active ingredient is mostly made up of cinnaminic aldehyde, derived from pigskin, which contains tannins (antioxidant substances) and coumarin, a moderately toxic substance for kidneys and liver.
Description of the plant
What we know with the name of cinnamon (or cinnamomum) can identify different plants of the Lauraceae family, especially the Cinnamomum zeylanicum, native of Sri Lanka, of hazel and more expensive color, and Cinnamomum cassia, originating instead of China and from more tart and cheaper aroma, often added to the first.
Recognizing cassia from Ceylon cinnamon (Sri Lanka) is possible because the former is much less aromatic and has a more wrinkled and reddish appearance . Another indication of value is the thickness of the torches, the small cylinders of dried bark: the thinner they are, the better the quality of the drug.
