Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 There's a lot of conflicting data about the benefits of cinnamon. The right kind of cinnamon is true cinnamon bark, the Latin name is cinnamomum verum from India, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka. The cinnamon oil comes from the true cinnamon. Most of the commercial cinnamon (spice) is actually cassia, Latin name cinnamomum cassia from China. It is in the same family but does not work as well for health purposes. Due to the presence of moderately toxic compounds, coumarin, European Health Authorities recently warned against using large quantities of cassia. Coumarin is known to cause liver and kidney damage in high concentrations. True cinnamon has negligible amounts of coumarin. The essential oil has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Recent research has shown that it is the cinnantannin B1 isolate that has therapeutic value on type II diabetes. This is not scientific data but I hope it will give you a suggestion for further study. 1) New research on blood sugar imbalances is coming out from Young Life Research Clinic in Springville, UT. The latest oils they are now using with great success are Geranium, Coriander and Dill, equal parts in empty 00 capsules, plus Thieves applied to the feet on a regular basis and plus the digestive enzymes of Carbozyme (2) and Detoxzyme (2) with every meal. Always muscle test or dowse for how much and how often. I hope this helps. Faye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
