Cinnamon quells spasms and helps relax muscles, relieve gas, perks up the movement of food through your digestive system making it one of the best tasting and least expensive herbs you can add to your routine to aid digestion. Some very interesting recent research suggests that cinnamon may help diabetics control their blood sugar. Cinnamon also is antibacterial so it helps to stop infection and beats back intestinal bugs. Remember that the cinnamon powder that is on the grocery shelves is much to old to have much if any medicinal value, and it is not very feasible to use a therapeutic amount in your cooking and baking.

Ceylon cinnamon is considered the true cinnamon in most of the rest of the world. The two are similar in taste, though Ceylon cinnamon has a sweeter, more delicate flavor. These two plants are very similar in looks, flavor and taste. The oils of both contain cinnamic aldehyde as the major component, with cassia having the larger amount.
