It is a premium quality spice that is extremely safe to use due to its low coumarin content, unlike its low-quality substitute Cassia. Cinnamomum verum is a small tree whose bark is commonly used as spice. Cinnamon is also traditionally used for many centuries for the treatment of diabetes and other conditions. Cinnamon can help you feel better if you have digestive issues. It also has been a popular remedy for combating the common cold.
