In honor of Thanksgiving, I decided to blog this month on the benefits of Cinnamon Oil. (there is no turkey essential oil, so cinnamon was the closest I could get). Cinnamon was used in ancient Chinese medicine as a prescription for stomach aches, infections, as a tranquilizer, for a weak heart, and as an anti depressant.
Today Cinnamon Oil is used as a natural form of medication for two main diseases; depression and diabetes.
Diabetes:
I'm really passionate about diabetes prevention for two main reasons. First, it kills millions of people in this country every year, and for many of those people, it is reversible and preventable. The second reason I'm passionate about diabetes prevention, is because Type 2 Diabetes runs in my family. And when I say "runs in my family" I mean that almost everyone on my dad's side has it. The odds aren't in my favor!
Because Diabetes is one thing I do NOT want to inherit from my family, I have already started working to prevent it. One of the things I do, is use Cinnamon Oil on a regular basis. Cinnamon Oil reduces blood glucose levels, supports the pancreas in running efficiently, and improves blood circulation. Because Cinnamon Oil is considered safe for oral consumption, I usually add it to my oatmeal in the mornings for my breakfast. You can also put a drop under your tongue, or mix a drop into your water.
Depression:
Cinnamon is one of the oldest medications used for depression. Results vary widely among people, with some feeling no effects whatsoever. There is no sure fire way to know if Cinnamon will work as an anti-depressant for you, besides trying it out. Please do so with extreme caution!
