Cinnamon - A Super Food For Your Body
Published by readabook on April 4th, 2008 | Tagged diabetes, Digestive Disorders
When King Solomon was plagued with indigestion, he used cinammon to treat his indigestion. I first heard about the benefits of cinnamon in Teresa and Joe Graedons column - The People’s Pharmacy. Cinnamon is an effective natural rememdy for all kinds of digestive complaints such as flatulence, diarhea, nausea and cramps. Cinnamon tea is also an anti-spasmodic making it good for preventing internal cramping (during your period) and “night cramps” of the leg,calf and foot. Pamela Allardice author of Natural Remedies A-Z says “Leg cramps may be further alleviated by supplementing the diet with calcium and an increased intake of vitaman B-6.”
She recommends using 2 teaspoons of the dried powdered bark (I use the mexican cinnamon you can buy at the grocery store. It crumbles easily.) steeped in boiling water for 15 minutes. Then sip cooled tea slowly, one hour before each meal.
More recently the U.S. Department of Agriculture has conducted research which suggests that cinnamon regulates blood sugar, inhibits cancer cells and is anti-inflammatory. The blood sugar part was what caught my eye in the Peoples Pharmacy Column. My husband is pre-diabetic and has high triglycerides, so I am very concerned about blood sugar. The way I work cinnamon into our diet is to make cinnamon flavored coffee. I break up a half a stick of mexican cinnamon and mix it in with the ground coffee before it gets brewed. The coffee tastes great and we get the benefit of the cinammon.
Chamomille tea is also good for indigestion and nausea. See our post at cheapskateliving.org natural remedy for digestive disorder
