Uso Tradicional
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, 肉桂 (Ròu Guì) has been used for centuries. It supports the spleen and stomach — the foundation of post-natal qi production in TCM theory. It is considered a longevity tonic — nourishing the fundamental essence (jing) and supporting the kidneys.
Investigación Moderna
Moderate research exists for this herb, including some clinical trials and substantial preclinical data. While not as extensively studied as top-tier herbs, the evidence supports several traditional uses. More human trials would strengthen the evidence base.
