Cinnamon has been around for a long time. And throughout its history it has been used in a wide variety of ways. There are many claims regarding the power of this ground bark of the Cinnamomum tree including even being a cure for cancer and a method for significant weight loss.
The website hellawella lists some of the more interesting ways cinnamon can improve your life and lifestyle. Consider these:
1. It's a natural appetite suppressant. Sprinkle some in your coffee, add some in a banana smoothie or stir some into your oatmeal. Even if you don't find that it curbs your appetite, it adds a nice flavorful kick that may deter you from turning to sugar.
2. It deters ants. If you're looking for a non-toxic and humane way to address an ant problem, cinnamon is the solution you seek. Apparently, the little beasties don't like climbing over or through cinnamon in powder form. the powder won't actually kill them, so you'll need to monitor closely and replace the cinnamon every two weeks or so to make sure the ants took the hint and left for friendlier pastures.
3. It's an anti-inflammatory. It might help with arthritis pain or help with a sore knee. Many credit cinnamon with lowering blood sugar.
4. It may help your acne. Dab some honey and cinnamon to spot treat a zit or pimple. Your mileage will likely vary depending on the severity of your acne and the underlying causes.
5. It's an odor neutralizer. Yes, cinnamon will fix everything from smelly sneakers to a skunked dog. And the added benefit...your home will smell like a hot cup of Autumn!
