It improves circulation. The astringent tannins in cinnamon treat diarrhea the catechins treat nausea. Its essential oils are considered analgesic, antifungal, and germicidal. 

Procyanidins (e.g., monomeric catechin and epicatechin) can form oligomers up to dodecameis. These compounds were extracted iiom apples and separated on a 37 C silica column X — 280 nm or 276 nm, ex 326 ntn, em). A complex 70-min 82/14/4-> 10/86/4 dichloromethane/methanol/(l/l acetic acid/water) gradient generated good resolution and peak shapes [783], Cinnamon and peanut skin extract chromatograms showed the presence of dimers through pentameis. Electrospray MS was used to confirm peak identity.
