Finally got my own cinnamon tree 🌿🤎
After so many years of working with the bark and twig — Rou Gui and Gui Zhi — it feels extra special to have the whole living plant growing here with me.
Cinnamon is one of the most beloved and commonly used herbs in Chinese herbal medicine, and seeing it as a tree instead of only as prepared medicine feels kind of magical. A reminder that these powerful medicinals begin as living, rooted beings.
Feeling very grateful for this one. Thank you
