Cinnamon – Memories of Mom and Apple Pie – Health Benefits & Essential Oil Blends

Posted by jackikellum on

Cinnamon has many potential health benefits, including: 

  • Blood sugar

    Cinnamon may help lower blood sugar levels, especially in people with type 2 diabetes. It may also improve insulin sensitivity, which helps regulate blood sugar. 

  • Heart health

    Cinnamon may help lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and reduce blood pressure. 

  • Inflammation

    Cinnamon’s antioxidants may help reduce inflammation in the body, which can help with chronic pain, cognitive decline, and heart disease. 

  • Brain health

    Cinnamon may improve cognitive function, including memory and attention span. It may also help protect the brain from age-related decline by increasing the production of proteins that are important for brain health. 

  • Antimicrobial

    Cinnamon has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. 

  • Cancer

    Cinnamon’s antioxidants may help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals, which may lower the risk of cancer. 

  • Viruses
    Some research suggests that cinnamon may help protect against certain viruses, including HIV-1, influenza, and Dengue – Google ai

Because of its warmth and its association with holiday pies, cinnamon is a perfect essential oil for fall. I have placed a second diffuser in my kitchen, and I run cinnamon blends in that diffuser all year.
