Scientific Summary

Indian Bay Leaf (Cinnamomum tamala) is the dried leaf of a small evergreen tree. Its juice and extracts are used traditionally to relieve digestive problems—such as indigestion, diarrhea, and stomach ulcers—as well as to support liver function. Use is limited by potential gastrointestinal irritation and the lack of safety data in pregnancy; people allergic to related spices should avoid it.
