Cinnamon, anti-inflammatory activity

Cinnamon is reported to possess antiinflammatory activity (Kirtikar and Basu, 1975). The ethanolic extract (70%) of cinnamon was effective on acute inflammation in mice (Kubo et ah, 1996). A herbal ophthalmic preparation, called Opthacare , containing 0.5% cinnamon was found to be effective as an anti-inflammatory agent on ocular inflammation in rabbits (Mitra et ah, 2000).
