Cinnamon 10:1

History:

The Cinnamon tree is an evergreen that grows in the tropical rain forests of India, Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), the Philippines and the West Indies. Cinnamon was first recorded in China in 2700 B.C., and ancient Egyptians included antiseptic Cinnamon in their embalming mixtures, used it in medicines, as well as a flavoring for food. The Romans were known to pay dearly for it as an expensive commodity, and Cinnamon is credited to be one of the spices that spurred world exploration, playing a major role in Colonial expansion. When the Portuguese invaded Sri Lanka after reaching India in 1536, the Sinhalese king paid them annual tributes of Cinnamon, and after the Dutch later captured the island, they established a system of cultivation that exists to this day. Much new research is being conducted into the therapeutic benefits of Cinnamon, and there are new breakthroughs in the areas of blood glucose health. U.S.D.A. reports demonstrate that extracts of Cinnamon support healthy blood sugar concentrations, and water-soluble Cinnamon botanical extract has been shown to be the most beneficial form of dietary Cinnamon, according to the U.S.D.A. In addition to its great therapeutic properties, Cinnamon is a pungent, sweet herb that has been used as a condiment to flavor and preserve food and add spice to wines. Commercially, Cinnamon is used in oral hygiene products, soft drinks and in the perfume industry. Some of Cinnamon's chemical constituents include cinnamaldehyde, tannin, mannitol, beta-carotene, beta-sitosterol, calcium, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, essential oils, coumarin, mucilage, B-vitamins and vitamins A and C.
