Evidence grade: Insufficientauto-proposed · unreviewedSafety signal: CautionMapping confidence: Strong correspondence

The three axes are assessed independently and are never combined into a single score.

KTKP records the origin species as Cinnamomum cassia Blume. It has not yet been cross-checked against the Korean Pharmacopoeia, so the identification confidence is not raised to an official code mapping. The same drug appears under 5 records as name variants. The same source species also yields 2 other separately registered drug(s) (Cinnamomi Ramulus, Cinnamomi Cortex Interior), which must not be conflated. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Cinnamomum cassia. Literature searches for this herb also cover Cinnamomum aromaticum — the same taxon appears under several names. The nomenclatural discussion for this herb was flagged for correction during verification; only the verified facts are shown here, with the details in docs/HERB_NAME_RESEARCH.md.

    • This signal was read off the NCCIH text by keyword rules. A curator must read the source and confirm it.
    • The NCCIH page covers the genus Cinnamomum generally, not this species alone.
    • The KTKP record states the following traditional contraindication: 양허음성자(陽虛陰盛者)와 임부는 쓰지 말 것.
    • NCCIH states: When used in larger amounts or for long periods of time, cinnamon is sometimes associated with side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal problems or allergic reactions.
    • NCCIH states: · According to research partially funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, there are theoretical reasons to suspect that some components of cinnamon may interact with an anticancer medicine or nicotine.
    • NCCIH states: · Some studies of the use of Ceylon and cassia cinnamon during pregnancy suggest it is safe in amounts commonly found in foods, but Ceylon cinnamon in larger amounts during pregnancy is considered unsafe.
    • NCCIH states: Little is known about whether it’s safe to use Ceylon or cassia cinnamon in larger amounts while breastfeeding.
