Cinnamon: Benefits and Uses

Cinnamon is a famous spice in every household. It has been used for centuries globally. This spice contains a delicious flavor and unique smell that has made it popular for cooking purposes.

This spice is obtained from the bark of an evergreen tree. The bark is then peeled off and put in the sun to get dry. Cinnamon also comes in powder form.

Uses and benefits of Cinnamon

1.     Cinnamon has anti-viral and anti-bacterial

Cinnamon contains various soothing and medicinal properties. It is used as traditional Chinese medicine. Its unique smell and flavor come from oils present in its bark that is cinnamaldehyde. It exhibits various anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties.

2.     Cinnamon Contains antioxidants

Cinnamon contains a rich amount of polyphenol antioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules that provide protection to the body against diseases. They are present in vegetables, fruits, spices, and herbs. Cinnamon contains antioxidants having anti-inflammatory effects.

3.     Cinnamon gum for gut health

Cinnamon also contains prebiotic properties that are helpful in promoting the growth of good bacteria in the gut and also suppressing the growth of bad or pathogenic bacteria. Adding such spices into your diet will enhance your gut health as well.

Cinnamon is a rich source of manganese as well and also provides small amounts of fibre and calcium.

4.     Cinnamon capsules Reduce blood pressure.

Some evidence suggests that taking cinnamon may help in reducing blood pressure for a short-term duration. This evidence could be beneficial in recommending cinnamon as a blood pressure control remedy, but it needs a comprehensive randomized controlled trial (RCT) with various patients to come to this conclusion. Some recent studies in this area indicated less convincing findings.

5.     Cinnamon supplement Lowers blood sugar.

It is also believed that cinnamon may support type 2 diabetes management and improve glycemic control. But the findings are mixed, and more controlled trials with a large population are required to establish the efficacy of cinnamon for its role in diabetes. But, a small quantity of cinnamon taken at breakfast or baking will not harm your body. It can be used to include in a balanced diet.

6.     Organic Cinnamon for digestive discomfort

The extract of cinnamon is also known to decrease gastrointestinal problems in Western and Eastern medicines for centuries now.

It is considered a carminative and contains anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.

Cinnamon bark oil is known to treat digestive issues and flatulence in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

It is also considered that cinnamon warmth may increase blood flow and oxygen level, which help in fighting off diseases. Cinnamon can be taken as a hot tea to alleviate digestive issues. It is better to use grounded cinnamon for ease.
