Nutrition & FoodIn the Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, cinnamon bark (Twak/Dalchini) is placed in the Karpuradi Varga and prized as a warming digestive ally, its heating potency said to kindle a sluggish digestive fire (agni) and burn off undigested residue (ama). Healers turned to it for weak digestion, indigestion, bloating, and loss of appetite, and it also earned a place among the classical aromatic blends Trijataka and Chaturjataka as a go-to carminative for trapped gas.
What the science saysBloating and gas are precisely what the modern study measured — and it measured them in pigs. No human trial has tested cinnamon on agni, on ama, or on indigestion itself.
