Rating (out of 5): 1

Indian Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia), also known as Chinese cinnamon, has been used in traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, for a variety of ailments, primarily for its purported anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Its application for gout is historically rooted in these traditions, where it was included in herbal preparations intended to alleviate joint pain and inflammation associated with gouty arthritis. However, there is limited direct scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness specifically for gout. Most of the available research focuses on the general anti-inflammatory properties of cassia and its active compounds like cinnamaldehyde, but these studies are typically preclinical (cell or animal models) and do not address gout directly. No high-quality human clinical trials have established its efficacy in treating or preventing gout attacks. In summary, the use of Indian Cassia for gout is primarily justified by traditional practices rather than robust scientific validation.
