Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices. It is obtained mainly from two species of cinnamon tree, Ceylon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) and Chinese (Cinnamomum cassia). As a spice, a dried thin inner layer of the crust is used, partly as rolled sticks, partly as powder. It is characteristic of the cinnamon tree that the young leaves are bright red, but as they age, they turn green.It is mostly imported from Sri Lanka, but also from Malaysia, Madagascar and the Seychelles.Cinnamon was used in China as early as 3000 BC, it is also mentioned in the Bible. It was known to the Romans and imported from the Persian Gulf. Between the 16th and 18th centuries, it was even considered a prized and expensive spice in Europe, brought by the Arabs. Interestingly, in the 16th century, when the Portuguese occupied the island of Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), they demanded a tax in the form of cinnamon from the inhabitants of the island.

The charm of cinnamon is certainly in its intoxicating and magical aroma. It is used in cooking, cosmetics and lately also in food supplements. The healing properties of cinnamon are being discovered on a daily basis, making it an increasingly common subject of medical research.

The greatest demand for cinnamon in Europe was in the Middle Ages, when it became the staple food of trade between the Middle East and Europe. It has conquered the whole world with its exotic taste, but above all because of its many healing properties.

CINNAMON OIL

Cinnamon oil can be prepared at home, it has antibacterial properties,antifunga and antioxidant properties.

Cinnamon oil has an excellent smell and taste. The combination of healing and healthy olive oil together with all the useful and healing ingredients of cinnamon is a real source of health, for external and internal use.For external use, it is recommended to dilute with another oil, such as coconut oil in a ratio of 1: 1.

Cinnamon oil is a powerful antioxidant that prevents damage and protects cells from free radicals, which are known to like to cause the most serious diseases and aging of the body. However, cinnamon can also be used for beauty and prevention in many different ways.

You need:

-cinnamon sticks

-quality olive oil (only quality cold pressed can be intended for preventive health promotion)

Preparation:

Fill a glass with whole cinnamon sticks. Drizzle the sticks with pure olive oil to make them completely submerged. Close the jar tightly and leave at room temperature for about three weeks.

Shake it well every day, and after three weeks strain the oil through gauze into a dark bottle. After that, your cinnamon oil is ready to use.

The number of cinnamon sticks is up to you, but it is best to keep the glass full. The more cinnamon sticks, the better.

Cinnamon-healing effects:

-Cancer - Cinnamon can prevent cancer cells from growing and growing. Cancer cells ignore metabolic signals and take in abnormally high amounts of sugar. Cinnamon can help establish proper communication pathways and control blood sugar levels so that cancer cells cannot grow as fast.

.Antifungal action - Cinnamon is effective in preventing and treating candida, fungal diseases and parasites. Cinnamon tea will strengthen the body's resistance to candida. Cinnamon tea and essential oil can also be used on the surface of the body, but avoid sensitive areas of the body because cinnamon can irritate the skin. To treat fungal infections, mix a few drops of cinnamon essential oil with coconut oil and apply the mixture to the infection.

-Blood sugar control - Cinnamon in research promises to be used to prevent and alleviate the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. It has a positive effect on blood sugar levels and improves insulin response. Diabetics should add as much as possible to their diet - either in the form of cinnamon tea, as a food supplement or even as a dietary supplement.

-Antimicrobial action - Cinnamon essential oil is one of the most antimicrobial substances we know. It works against dangerous bacteria, viruses and fungi. Cinnamon tea is therefore an excellent prevention and cure for colds and flu, and cinnamon essential oil is a safe and effective disinfectant at home. Dilute the essential oil in distilled water, mix well and use the mixture as a spray. You only need 1% cinnamon essential oil in this solution.

-Reduces LDL cholesterol and triglycerides - In addition to regulating blood sugar, cinnamon also lowers LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and total cholesterol without affecting good HDL cholesterol. This reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and stroke.

-Mood, memory and concentration - Many essential oils have a positive effect on memory, cognitive abilities, concentration and alertness. The best are the essential oils of mint, rosemary and cinnamon. We all know that smell and memory are closely linked - and we can use that to our advantage. Just inhaling the cinnamon scent will improve your mood and increase concentration.

-Body weight - Cinnamon improves blood circulation, thins the blood and regulates blood sugar levels. This means less cravings for sugary foods, fewer empty calories consumed and therefore a more optimal body weight.

-Antioxidant - Cinnamon is a powerful antioxidant and beats most other spices in this category. This means that cinnamon protects against free radicals and thus prevents the signs of premature aging, cancer and other diseases associated with oxidative stress.

-Arthritis - Cinnamon improves blood flow and warms, so it can help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis. Research has not yet confirmed this, but many people with arthritis find that cinnamon helps them because it reduces inflammation and pain.

-PMS and infertility - Cinnamon contains a lot of manganese, which prevents mood swings and painful cramps before menstruation. Cinnamaldehyde, the second active ingredient in cinnamon, regulates hormones and restores hormonal balance.

-Healthy teeth and gums - Cinnamon is often added to chewing gums and toothpastes because it has an antibacterial effect, improves dental health and at the same time improves bad breath. Try whipping coconut oil to which you add a drop of cinnamon essential oil.

Cinnamon is a great spice for the whole year. It is full of healthy substances and healing effects that will surely convince you to include it in your diet even after the end of the cold season.

STAY HEALTHY!!!!

Antioxidant-rich cinnamon is not only good for improving taste. It regulates blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity and reduces the risk of heart disease. With its anti-inflammatory properties, it is also a convenient natural remedy for acne and various inflammations, such as bacterial or fungal. Add it to herbal tea water, make an ointment with honey, include it in meals or just let the smell of essential oil permeate our home Almost everyone has it in their pantry This spice is probably from something in our pantry, but its health benefits may not be imagined at all. It is not as exotic or a key part of traditional medicine as turmeric. However, it is used in naturopathy and home-made preparations. Quite a few studies have been done on its healing effects. Several types of cinnamon were included in them. Cinnamon has a number of healing effects Its healing effects include: It regulates blood sugar levels and works wonders, they say, for diabetes-related problems such as hyperlipidemia. Taking cinnamon is effective after about 40 days, one study showed. Just half a teaspoon a day can be very effective. It is added to black tea or coffee, which we drink without sugar, in juices or added to food. It lowers cholesterol levels and has positive effects on the heart. These show up in a relatively short time, for example at 12 weeks in the case of non-alcoholic fatty liver. Improves lipid metabolism. This helps with metabolic problems in general as well as high levels of inflammation in obesity. It lowers blood pressure because certain ingredients in it dilate blood vessels, which helps lower cholesterol. However, most research on this has been done on animals, so further research will be needed to see if it really helps humans as well. It helps with various inflammations. As a result, cinnamon has also been studied in medicine in connection with neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Cinnamon also helps with gastritis and dyspepsia. It helps with acne due to its antibacterial effect. Mix real cinnamon with three times the amount of honey. Heat the mixture and apply it on the face. It MUST NOT be so hot as to burn! Leave on for a few minutes and rinse. Relieves menstrual problems such as cramps and severe bleeding. A simple home remedy for menstrual cramps is a warm compress with a few drops of cinnamon oil. It reduces fatigue and restores our energy. Add cinnamon oil to the essential oil spray. You will quickly become more focused and less tired. This especially helps drivers on long journeys. Relieves arthritis symptoms and improves blood circulation. Be careful when dosing We consume only 2 to 5 mg of cinnamon per day for therapeutic purposes. Pregnant women need to be careful when taking higher doses for therapeutic purposes because there is not enough research to prove that cinnamon is completely harmless to them. Those with liver disease may notice that their condition may even get worse after taking large amounts.

Ukoliko ste u dilemi koji oblik cimeta bi trebali imati u svojoj kuhinji, odgovor je – oba, i mljeveni i u obliku štapića. Naime, štapić cimeta praktičan je u pripremi aromatiziranih napitaka i kompota, a mljeveni će dati izvrsnu aromu voću i kolačima.
