Cinnamomum burmanni

Frequently used both alone and in formulas in traditional Chinese medicine, there are several species of which each has a slightly different application. The C. burmanni species was seen to have a warm, spicy or acrid, and sweet nature, and is primarily used to warm the body upon initial contraction of the common cold. It may also *assist in maintaining blood sugar and cholesterol within normal ranges. 

Modern studies have confirmed a strong antibiotic effect against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, and to a slightly lesser but still effective extent, Asian flu virus and ECHO virus. The C. burmanni species has also been found to have a high coumarin content.
