“It is known that cinnamon is effective against certain types of fungi. It has pronounced anti-inflammatory properties. Inhaling cinnamon essential oil significantly reduces symptoms such as anxiety and depression,” emphasized the specialist.
The spice is actively used in cosmetology as a treatment for hair. It enhances the shine and luster of strands and also gives them bounce.
“However, for cinnamon to have beneficial effects on the body, it is important not to overdo the daily intake, which should be limited to five to six grams per day — that is, no more than a teaspoon. For children, this amount should be halved, and pregnant women are advised to indulge in only a few grams of the spice per week. It is also essential to remember the contraindications. For example, people with gastrointestinal diseases, blood clotting disorders, and those with allergies should seek alternatives to the spice,” Nikitina concluded.
