Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume, commonly known as Darchini in Unani Medicine,is an ancient spice of immense therapeutic importance. Traditionally, it has been used as a stomachic, carminative, aphrodisiac, expectorant, and tonic, widely recommended for digestive, hepatic, cardiovascular,and reproductive ailments. This review aims to integrate the Unani and modern pharmacological perspectives of C. zeylanicum to highlight its multifaceted medicinal properties,emphasizing its potential nephroprotective actions against drug induced kidney injuries.Unani physicians such as Avicenna (IbnSina) and Jurjani described Darchini as Muqawwi-i-Maida (stomachic), Mudirr-i-Baul (diuretic), Muharrik (stimulant), and Dafi-i-Taaffun (antiseptic), and it was prescribed in conditions like ZofeMeda (gastric weakness), Yarqan (jaundice), Bawasir (piles), and Khafqan (palpitation).
