Organic cinnamon stick - low temperature

Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices in the world. It is used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines for its powerful effects.

Its major active ingredients are:

- cinnamaldehyde which is used to treat intestinal and stomach ailments

- cannaldehyde which gives a sweet taste to Ceylon cinnamon when it is incorporated into dishes

- polyphenols which are anti-inflammatory compounds

- the tannin which reinforces the anti-infectious properties.

Its properties: 

• Scientific literature has ranked ground cinnamon 4th among the 50 foods with the most antioxidants per 100g serving. Of course we only consume a small amount of cinnamon but it is so concentrated that its effects are felt in small doses. It is richer in antioxidants than many other herbs and spices, including garlic, thyme or rosemary. The various antioxidants it contains help fight against the effects of oxidative stress (see the study here), against cellular aging and help prevent certain chronic diseases.

• Cinnamon is an ally of the digestive system. A cinnamon tea at the end of a meal will support the digestive fire and you will find comfort more quickly. It is often used for minor problems such as flatulence, diarrhea, indigestion and nausea.

• Type 2 diabetes is a disease that is caused by insulin becoming less and less effective in regulating blood sugar levels. Cinnamon has long been studied to help people with this condition: it can lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. By normalizing insulin levels, it helps maintain good health for patients and delay the onset of disease in those at risk (accompanied by medical supervision). In people supplemented with cinnamon, a study shows that it caused a significant decrease in blood glucose and certain blood lipids (total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol).

• Cinnamon can help stop excessive bleeding by aiding the body in the clotting process. It also helps increase blood circulation and improves tissue repair. These properties may be particularly helpful in regenerating heart tissue and thus fighting heart attacks and strokes.

• Anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory effects thanks to cinnamaldehyde: a powerful broad-spectrum antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic. You boost your immune system by adding cinnamon to your cooking! It would also make it possible to preserve certain foods longer.

• Cinnamon shows very promising results in the fight against Alzheimer's disease and could help reduce neurological lesions and tumors. It would stimulate brain functions. This study takes up all the proven and yet to be proven benefits of this powerful spice with multiple uses.
