Etnobotánica:

Canella winterana has been used medicinally to treat “female tiredness” by preparing a tonic made from boiling leaves and bark. Crushed leaves can be used to numb the pain of toothaches by placing them near the tooth. Tonics of the bark are also used to treat gastrointestinal issues. The bark and berries are dried and crushed and used commercially as a spice. The bark has also been used to flavor tobacco.
