Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, and Cinnamon cassia), the eternal tree of tropical medicine, belongs to the Lauraceae family. Cinnamon is one of the most important spices used daily by people all over the world. Cinnamon primarily contains vital oils and other derivatives, such as cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, and cinnamate. Traditional uses of Cinnamon throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe have been recorded, where it has been used as a medicine. Many researches were done to study the effect of cinnamon as antifungal and antibacterial cause skin, oral infection and foodborne bacteria. The antibacterial activity was certified to the presence of some phytochemicals in the extracts and recommended that it was possibly due to their major component cinnamaldehyde.
