Gouty arthritis occurs when excess uric acid builds up in the body, causing joint and bone pain due to monosodium urate crystal deposits in the joints. This condition results in repeated and sudden joint pain, limiting mobility. One non-pharmacological approach to pain relief is cinnamon compress therapy, as cinnamon can suppress cytokines associated with arthritis pain. Crushed cinnamon sticks, containing essential oils (1-4%) with components like eugenol (up to 10%), cinnamaldehyde (60-80%), and phenolic compounds (4-10%), are effective for gouty arthritis treatment. These compounds, along with other active ingredients like tannins and catechins, have properties that promote vasodilation, improving blood flow and reducing pain. This article employs a literature review methodology, analyzing national and international sources related to the effectiveness of cinnamon in managing arthritis pain. National literature was sourced via Google Scholar using keywords like "Cinnamon," "Cinnamomum Burmannii," and "Arthritis Gout." International literature was obtained from ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and PubMed using the terms "Cinnamon" AND "Rheumatoid Arthritis Gout." Ten relevant articles were included in the review Cinnamon therapy has proven effective in reducing arthritis pain, with methods including warm water compresses, consuming cinnamon mixed with honey, cinnamon-based herbal medicines, supplements, and creams. The therapy is typically applied to affected areas such as the feet or knees. Further research is needed to explore the full potential of Cinnamomum Burmannii in reducing arthritis pain in Indonesia. This requires adequate resources, healthcare facilities, trained professionals, and community education to enhance understanding and implementation of cinnamon-based interventions.
