Cinnamon Bark in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Cinnamon bark treats the upward floating of deficient Yang—Heat above and Cold below—which manifests as a flushed face, wheezing, severe sweating, dry mouth, sore throat; and weak and cold lower extremities with lower back pain, cold lower extremities, diarrhea and and a deficient and rootless pulse.

The pattern of hot above and cold below is very common in the modern world due to lack of physical movement (especially of the lower body) and excessive thinking, and use of the eyes and hands—so, a day at the office. All the energy is concentrated in the upper body, while circulation to the lower body becomes poor. To put it in modern medical terms, this pattern is the beginning of metabolic syndrome. 

Cinnamon also disperses deep Cold, warms the energy channels, unblocks the channels and vessels and alleviates pain. This leads to improved circulation of both Qi and blood. It can help lower blood pressure and treat arthritic conditions.* 

This herb is overall a warming herb that helps in circulation, and when combined with other herbs becomes a tonic for both Qi and blood.*
