Cinnamon -
Facts:
--Cinnamon inspired the spice trade routes of old
--Cinnamon is mentioned in the Old Testament
In traditional Chinese medicine, cinnamon is one of the most widely used warming herbs to aid in circulation and digestion. It is a common ingredient in small amounts in tea used for nausea during pregnancy. It is also used following delivery to decrease hemmorrhaging and is used by naturopathic physicians for bleeding uterine fibroids, a type of benign tumor.
Cinnamon raises vitality, warms and stimulates all the vital functions of the body, counteracts congestion, improves digestion, relieves abdominal spasms and aids in peripheral circulation. Hot applications can help ease the pain of fibromyalgia and arthritis.
The compounds contained in cinnamon include eugenol, cinnamic aldehyde, methyl-eugenol, tannin, and mannitol, which gives cinnamon its sweet flavor. It also contains cinnzelanin and cinzelanol, which are both known insecticides. Try putting some liquid soap and cinnamon in a spray bottle and using it on your plants as an organic bug repellant. Cinnamon is also included in many medicinal recipes that are used for exterminating lice, scabies and other skin parasites.
Cinnamon has antifungal, antiviral and bacteriocidal properties. It has been shown to suppress E. coli, staphylococcus, and CANDIDA ALBICANS.


That is very interesting! Thanks!


YER-R-WELL-COME
"Cinnamon Girl" - by Neil Young
I wanna live
with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy
the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.
Ten silver saxes,
a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes
and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.
Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah.

Now don't laugh, but if you lost your bronzer (you girls know what I mean), shake a little cinnamon in your palm and rub it into your cheeks.
Darkens your lips naturally as well and tastes good.
This must sound funny coming from the commercial princess!!! LOL

My partner, Joe has been making cinnamon capsules for several months now. He takes three with each meal. It has greatly reduced flatulence. Lowered his blood pressure and cholesterol and he feels much better overall.

Sounds good!!! How do you make them?

I made myself a batch of those quite a few years ago from a recipe I found in a magazine. You're right, they were delicious.


Hi Granny, I had them in a restaurant but I am pretty sure all they did was cut up raw sweet taters like french fries and deep fry them. then give them a good sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar.. Is this correct Jor-el? Do you remember what you did?


Instead of the sugar, the recipe called for putting sesame seeds on them.
They are quite a treat.
