Cinnamon is a spice (http://www.curejoy.com/content/cinnamon6reasonswhyithinkyoushouldsayyestoit/) obtained from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum inthe family Lauraceae. While Cinnamomum verum is sometimes considered to be “true cinnamon”,most cinnamon in international commerce is derived from related species, which are also referred to as“cassia” to distinguish them from “true cinnamon”.
Cinnamon is the brown bark of the cinnamon tree, which when dried, rolls into a tubular form known asa quill. Cinnamon is available in either its whole quill form (cinnamon sticks) or as ground powder. Thename “cinnamon” comes through the Greek kinnámōmon, possibly from Phoenician: qinnāmôn. Inseveral European languages, the word for cinnamon comes from the Latin word cannella, a diminutiveof canna, “tube”, from the way it curls up as it dries.
Cinnamon’s unique healing abilities come from three basic types of components (cinnamaldehyde,cinnamyl acetate, and cinnamyl alcohol) in the essential oils found in its bark, plus a wide range ofother volatile substances.
Ceylon Cinnamon v/s Cassia Cinnamon:While there are approximately one hundred varieties of for cinnamon, Cinnamonum zeylanicum(Ceylon cinnamon known as “true cinnamon”) and Cinnamomun aromaticum (Chinese cinnamonknown as “cassia”) are the leading varieties consumed. While both are relatively similar incharacteristics and both feature a fragrant, sweet and warm taste, the flavor of the Ceylon variety ismore refined and subtle. Cassia, the less expensive variety, is the most popular variety in the UnitedStates.
History of Cinnamon:Cinnamon was more valuable than gold in ancient times. Chinese medicine and Ayurveda have(http://www.curejoy.com/content/curejoyvideoofthedayayurvedathescienceofaliveness/)long revered cinnamon as a superpower herb which is reflected in its mention in one of the earliestbooks on Chinese botanical medicine, dated around 2,700 B.C. Cinnamon’s popularity continuedthroughout history especially in Medieval Europe. Due to its demand, cinnamon became one of the firstcommodities traded regularly between the Near East and Europe.
Top 14 Health Bene涏ꅔts of Magical Herb Cinnamon:1.

Arthritis Pain Relief: Studies have shown that the combination of Honey and Cinnamon reduces(http://www.curejoy.com/content/cinnamonhoneythemagicmixture/) cytokines linked to arthriticpain.5. Anti Cancer: Cinnamon may reduce the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells, holding promise for cancer prevention (http://www.curejoy.com/content/tag/carrotjuiceandcancerhealthbenefits/)and sufferers of the disease.6. Natural food preservative: When added to food, cinnamon antibacterial properties(http://www.curejoy.com/content/naturaltreatmentforarthritispainusingcinnamon/) inhibitbacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative.7. Relief from menstrual pain and infertility: Cinnamon contains a natural chemical calledcinnamaldehyde, which increases the hormone progesterone while decreasing testosterone productionin women, helping to balance hormones.8. Neurodegenerative diseases: Cinnamon reduces chronic inflammation linked with neurologicaldisorders like Alzheimer’s disease (http://www.curejoy.com/content/iscoconutoilthemagicalcureforalzheimersseemsso/), Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, and meningitis.9. Boosts Brain Function: Chewing cinnamon flavored gum or just smelling cinnamon enhances yourcognitive processing, mental alertness and memory.10. Migraine relief: Cinnamon added to tea can help soothe the nerves and has been found to be aneffective natural remedy (http://www.curejoy.com/content/naturalandhomeremedyforgastritis/) for eliminating headaches and migraine (http://www.curejoy.com/content/lavendersoothyourheadachescalmyournervesandeasedepressionallwithoneherb/) relief.11. Anticlotting: Cinnamaldehyde (also called cinnamic aldehyde) prevents unwanted clumping ofblood platelets by inhibiting the release of an inflammatory fatty acid called arachidonic acid fromplatelet membranes and reducing the formation of an inflammatory messaging molecule calledthromboxane A2.12. Anti inflammatory: Cinnamon lowers the release of arachidonic acid from cell membranes thatcan helps lessen inflammation. (http://www.curejoy.com/content/inflammationandchronicdiseasetop10antiinflammatoryfoods/)13. Rich in Fiber: Along with essential oils, cinnamon is an excellent source of fiber(http://www.curejoy.com/content/yesitistruedietaryfiberreducesheartdisease/),manganeseand calcium. Calcium and fiber can bind to bile salts and expel them from the body preventing thedamage that certain bile salts can cause to colon cells leading to colon cancer.14. Beats the Flu: A herbal tea (http://www.curejoy.com/content/cantbeatthatstressachangeinyourherbalteamightchangeeverything/) concoction of cinnamon and ginger has been an ageold remedy to beat and provide instant relief from onset of a cold or flu(http://www.curejoy.com/content/honeylemongingertearecipenaturalcoldandflurelief/),due to cinnamon “warming” properties.
Side e㼀�ects and Precautions:~Toxicity – As with most things taking Cinnamon over extended periods of time will build a certainlevel of toxicity in your body (http://www.curejoy.com/content/tunaandheavymetaltoxicity/).The recommenced dosage of Cinnamon according to the US Department of health, is 6 grams daily for
6 weeks or less.~ Premature Labor – Pregnant women (http://www.curejoy.com/content/shouldpregnantwomenexercise/) should not take Cinnamon as it can induce premature labor or uterine contractions.While Cinnamon helps with stomach pains, gas of indigestion, you should NOT be consuming orsmelling Cinnamon for these purposes while you are pregnant .~ Liver Damage Coumarin which can cause liver failure if taken daily or in high doses and wasbanned in Europe for a while because of its effects on the liver. Choose Ceylon Cinnamon, which onlyhas 0.04% Coumarin as compared to about 5% in Cassia.~ Blood Thinner – The blood thinning property of Cassia Cinnamon must not be taken with otherblood thinning medication.~ Allergies – A small minority of people may be allergic to Cinnamon and symptoms usually include arunny nose, watery eyes or soreness of the eyes, shortness of breadth (usually by smelling CinnamonOil), upset stomach, facial or hand swelling, anaphylactic shock (unusual heartbeat, dizziness,confusion, dizziness, sudden drop in blood pressure) and nausea.~ Skin irritation – Touching Cinnamon oil without diluting it will irritate your skin and create a burningsensation.~ Increased Heart Rate High doses of Cinnamon (http://www.curejoy.com/content/naturaltreatmentforarthritispainusingcinnamon/)could be dangerous for those with a heart condition asCinnamon is known to increase your heart rate.
