Cinnamon comes from trees of the genus Cinnamomum, mainly the species Cinnamomum verum (Ceylon) and Cinnamomum cassia (China), which belong to the Lauraceae family. They are native to South Asia and are widely used in cooking, perfumery and medicine. The bark of the trees is dried and turned into powder or tincture for medicinal use.
