Cassia Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, including Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, for digestive complaints such as bloating, nausea, and mild gastrointestinal discomfort. In the context of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), its use is primarily based on anecdotal evidence and traditional practices rather than robust scientific validation.

Traditionally, Cassia Cinnamon is thought to possess carminative and antispasmodic properties, which may help relieve mild gastrointestinal symptoms. Some historical texts and herbal compendiums mention cinnamon as a remedy for indigestion and abdominal pain, but they do not specifically address IBS as a clinical diagnosis.

Scientifically, there is a lack of high-quality clinical trials directly investigating the effects of Cassia Cinnamon on IBS symptoms. A few in vitro and animal studies suggest that cinnamon may have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and gut-motility-modulating effects, but these findings have not been clearly translated to IBS management in humans. Systematic reviews and clinical guidelines for IBS do not recommend Cassia Cinnamon as a treatment based on current evidence.

In conclusion, while Cassia Cinnamon is traditionally used for general digestive support, there is limited to no scientific evidence specifically validating its use for IBS. Its use in this context remains largely traditional and should be approached with caution.
