Cinnamon's Incredible Health Benefits

CINNAMON. S'posed to be an end to HBP and Diabetes.

I also know that a sliced apple eaten, as well as green tea with a stick of cinnamon to brew and a dash of black pepper lowers blood sugar. It worked with my elderly mother and some of her friends. Also fenugreek, available in Pharmacies, eg. CVS, works well.

Cinnamon for smelly drains! I discovered I had a sulfur-smelling kitchen sink drain when I moved into a new apartment -- it was a strong smell that would spread through the house! Tried repeated treatments of pouring baking soda into the drain, then washing it down with vinegar, then rinsing with hot water 30 minutes later. It helped some, but not enough. By accident, I discovered that true cinnamon powder would fix the problem. I had spilled about a half cup of cinnamon into that sink and simply rinsed it down the drain with enough water to avoid clogging the drain. The drain smelled fresh the next day and every day after. Cinnamon acts as a natural antibiotic. It saved me from having to bring in a plumber.

Bedbugs can live for a year without feeding on anything. They can even live in a year (at least) in an empty apartment. Are you sure it was the cinnamon? http://www.wired.com/2014/10/essential-oils-fail-killing-bed-bugs/

How do I mix the witch hazel, distilled water, and cinnamon to put in a spray bottle because the recipe you have calls for one gallon of distilled water.

Using Cinnamon to reduce Glucose Levels.

I have read much research on the internet that shows 3-6 grams per day of Cinnamon included in the daily diet will reduce Glucose levels. It consistently states that regular, daily intake of cinnamon improves glucose control and cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes. 3-6 grams of Cinnamon would be approximately the tip of a teaspoon.

I also saw that other factors can also raise or lower your Blood Glucose levels.

FOOD: Bread, pasta, rice, pastry, and some types of fruits and vegetables can all contribute to a rise in blood sugar. Research this on the internet to see what works for best you.

EXERCISE: Even the smallest amount of daily exercise can help to lower blood glucose levels. I suggest that you work a little exercise into your daily schedule - walk more, park your car a little further away from the store, use the stairs instead of the elevator.

SUNLIGHT: Low levels of vitamin D in the body have been linked to insulin insensitivity and lowered glucose tolerance. Sitting in full sunlight for 20 to 30 minutes, at least three times a week, can help maintain calcium levels and help lower blood glucose levels.

Hopefully one or two of these will appeal to you and you will use them.

I started having nose bleeds, again. My brother told me to sniff a little cinnamon and that would stop it and clot it. It worked.

Hi. My sister has RA very bad (35 yrs. Old) Is currently taking weekly injections of Humira with horrible side affects & other RX pills. How do you take the cinnamin & honey? do you mix in hot water? I would love to tell her about "natural ways" to help w/ her RA thanks. Love EC"

RA as you know is an autoimmune condition, which firstly makes it very difficult to manage and in the advanced stages pharmaceutical intervention is often necessary to enable the person to function. Both honey and cinnamon are very good anti-flammatory agents and your sister could certainly take them combined in water (2t-spoons honey and 1/4 t-spoon cinnamon) but she may find it a little unpalatable. I would suggest combining them into a fresh fruit/vegetable juice or non-dairy smoothy. There is a very effective Vermont Folk Medicine remedy which she may consider. In a glass of water add 2 t-spoons of honey and 2 t-spoons of ACV and drink morning and night. She could simply add the cinnamon to this cocktail if she wishes. Hope this helps."

I have been a type one diabetic for around 7 years and most of the knowledge I have about it has come from my curiosity about my ailment. I read an article about cinnamon in a diabetes magazine that suggested it helped blood sugar control, and I have been using about a table spoon in a half cup of apple sauce, and I have been finding that my waking blood sugars and throughout the day have become much tighter and I have lowered my insulin levels slightly because I simply don't need as much. I am still tinkering with the mix, but my blood sugar has definitely seen change for the better since I added some cinnamon

Be careful with cinnamon. There is a chemical in table cinnamon which is a carcinogenic. Don't take it over a long time. Make sure you buy the kind that is "Cinnulin PF". My physician has his phd in nutrition and is the head of Integrative Medicine. He rarely puts anyone on pharmaceuticals.
