Cinnamon and Health
For centuries, cinnamon was used for medicinal purposes around the world, and is well known for its unique and potent remedial qualities.
Traditionally, it has been noted to treat a variety of health disorders including stomach cramps, indigestion, sore throats, coughs, nausea and diarrhoea. It is also used to relieve flatulence and reduces joint pain associated with arthritis. Cinnamon also helps treat infections caused by bacteria and fungi such as tooth decay.
In the eastern world, cinnamon was traditionally used to treat diabetes and improve mental performances. Recent research confirms that cinnamon has anti-diabetic properties and a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels.
Research has also indicated a role for cinnamon in improving cognition, memory and information processing. A daily diet of cinnamon has been shown to lower cholesterol and improve circulation, thus reducing the likelihood of heart attacks.
With all these positive research results, Cinnamon is now accepted in the western world to be a key ingredient in many types of medicine.
