Cinnamon is a spice and medicine made out of bark of cinnamon tree and cinnamon essential oil smells divine.

Cinnamon has warming qualities and has been used as traditional warming remedy for ages, especially as a tea.

It is sold as cinnamon sticks (usually smaller than the one below) or ground as a powder.

Pictured above huge cinnamon bark piece came from Dominica in the Caribbean but cinnamon trees are native to many places, also Sri Lanka or China.
