gotta work on my breathing lol

It must be a virgo thing to love herbs. Cinnamon and aloe is my favorites, here is some of cinnamon's benefits unfortuntaly I don't have a link as it's stuff I saved long ago.

CINNAMON

Cinnamon not only delights the taste buds, but benefits other parts of our body as well. It is

one of the world’s oldest healers. Recent research studies show that cinnamon contains

constituents that can kill bacteria and other micro-organisms, including Staphylococcus

aureus, the source of golden staph infections, and Clostridium botulinum, the source of

botulism. Cinnamon has also been found to destroy Aspergiilus parasiticus and A. fluvus, fungi

that produce aflotoxins, which are poisonous and carcinogenic.

DRINK CINNAMON TEA FOR ALLERGIC RHINITIS

The leaves are used in the form of powder or decoction which is then added to medicines. They

stimulate the peristaltic wave and help in relieving distention of the abdomen or flatulence.

They also increase urination, which in a way helps in expelling metabolic waste products or

toxins out of the body.

One ayurvedic school has recommended the use of cinnamon in brain tonics for improvisation of

memory. Cinnamon is also considered useful for anxiety, depression and mental tension.

Cinnamon is considered a good remedy for irritating cough, common cold, allergic rhinitis, and

acute and chronic sinusitis. It helps in relieving a choking sensation and cleans respiratory

passages. Cinnamon, along with a few other herbal powders is boiled in water and used for

gargling in case of sore throat. An herbal tea is prepared out of these medicines and served

hot as a diaphoretic mixture in case of influenza and other unknown origin fevers. It induces

sweating and helps in relieving the fever.

Cinnamon is also used in digestive disorders like nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia (imperfect

digestion) and anorexia (loss of appetite). An ayurvedic carminative mixture for pediatric or

adult use essentially contains cinnamon. It also has proved its merit as a mouth freshener.

This is the reason why it is included in most of herbal toothpastes.

Ayurvedic beauticians also use cinnamon in creams or lotions and here it serves the purpose of

adding to fairness of skin and improving the complexion of skin. It is also used for external

application with few other herbal powders for headache related to cough, cold and fever. It

helps in reducing tension/cluster headaches as well. Some practitioners claim its use in hyper

pigmentation of skin as well as acne. It can be used externally and is taken internally with

honey and limejuice for desired effects.

One ayurvedic school of medicine has discussed role of cinnamon in birth control. More

research is needed to support this. Ayurvedic gynecologists have recommended use of cinnamon

in menorrhagia (excessive bleeding during menses) and medical trials have supported this

statement by claiming good results.

In short, cinnamon is a spice as well as a medicine. It helps in digestive, respiratory and

gynecological problems. Its use under medical supervision can help in giving better relief
