Cinnamon is the inner bark of a small evergreen tree, Cinnomomum zeylan-icum or C. verum, which is in the laurel family. Cassia (C. aromaticum) and camphor (C. camphora) are other members of this genus. The bark, leaves, and sometimes whole stems from these trees are also used as a spice. Cassia is sometimes called bastard cinnamon because it is produced in greater quantities, but is less aromatic than true cinnamon. All of these spices have been combined with resin and vegetable soils to produce fragrant oils and incense. Cinnamon and other similar fragrant bark powders have been used medicinally to treat many ailments, from kidney disease to snakebite.
