Cinnamon

The nature of cinnamon is hot and moist. It relieves cough, cleanses and strengthens the liver and stomach and helps with epilepsy and increased heart rate.

Hippocrates said, “Cinnamon preserves a person’s strength while he is alive and improves insight and intelligence.”

Zhalinus (Galen) believed that “Cinnamon helps with forgetfulness and cleanses the stomach and brain.”

Cinnamon improves vision. If one inhales it through the nose and it causes sneezing, it will help with headaches. It also treats inflammation of the facial nerve and helps with jaundice. It helps lower blood sugar and strengthens the heart muscle. Cinnamon can be added to coffee, porridge and other dishes.
