Also known as- Cinnamomum cassia, Cinnamomum verum, and the oil is typically Cinnamomum zeylanicum
Introduction
One of the world*s most familiar spices is an up and coming treatment for diabetes, weight control, and hypoglycemia. That modern medicine would finally be finding applications for cinnamon isn*t surprising. Cinnamon has been used as a herbal medicine in China for at least 4,000 years. Traditional Chinese Medicine still uses cinnamon as a "warming" agent to fight infections occurring when there is cold or fatigue and to increase the activity of the digestive tract.
Constituents
Small amounts, that is, between 0.5-4% essential oil containing 60-9=80% cinnamaldehyde, up to 12% eugenol and 4-10% trans-cinnamic acid; 4-10% phenolic compounds; tannins; catechins; oligomeric proanthocyanidins; other monoterpenes including limonene and alpha-terpineol; sesquiterpenes including pinene; calcium monoterpenoid oxalates; gum; mucilages; resins; starch; complex sugars in amounts to small to affect blood sugars; and traces of coumarin.
Parts Used
Dried bark in sticks, chips or ground.
Typical Preparations
Mostly in foods and beverages including teas, extracts, or tinctures.
Summary
The German Commission E recommended cinnamon for treating loss of appetite and stomach upset, and cinnamon teas have been used for centuries to prevent bloating and flatulence and to treat heartburn and nausea. Cinnamon*s beneficial effects on the digestive tract are attributed to its antioxidant catechins, chemical compounds that are also found in tea.
Cinnamon antioxidants may also fight bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, especially yeast infections of the mouth (oral candidiasis) in people with compromised immune systems. There are some scientific indications that cinnamon relieves the pain of ulcers, and the herb is also very useful in regulating the activity of insulin*so effective, in fact, that diabetics may need to check their sugars more often if they eat large quantities (more than 1 tablespoon) of cinnamon every day. Cinnamon does not stimulate the release of insulin, but it helps insulin work more effectively.
Precautions
None.

There are some scents that remind us about the comfort of home and can soothe our bodies in the process. Case in pointthesweet and warm smell of cinnamon.
This spice is derived from the stems of the cinnamomum tree. The inner bark is then extracted, and the woody partsareremoved and left to dry. This results in the formation of strips that eventually curl into the cinnamon sticksknowntoday.
These strips can also then be ground to form cinnamon powder.1 The spice is native to the Caribbean, South AmericaandSoutheast Asia.2 There are two known types of cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon. Also known asCinnamomum verum, Ceylon cinnamonis considered to be *true cinnamon,*3 and is produced in Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar,Brazil and the Caribbean.
This spice became highly prized,7 and since cinnamon was rare and valuable, it was regarded as a gift fit for kings.8Inmedieval times, doctors used cinnamon to treat ailments such as coughs, sore throat and arthritis.
Nowadays, cinnamon is ranked as the second most popular spice in the U.S. next to black pepper.9 Even moreimportant,recent research has proven that cinnamon is loaded with nutrients that your body will greatly benefit from.
Choose Cinnamon for Its Amazing Health Benefits
There is more to this spice than its comforting smell. Cinnamon has high amounts of calcium, fiber and manganese, as well as antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiviralandantioxidant properties. It*s highly useful for Enhancing antioxidant defenses: polyphenols in cinnamon10 can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.
Exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties: cinnamaldehyde, an oily compound responsible for cinnamon*s aroma and flavor,11 can help alleviate inflammation.12 A study revealed thatcinnamon can target inflammatory pathways and assist in preventing neurodegenerative illnesses.13 Enhancing cognitive function: one study proved that the smell of cinnamonworked better than peppermint and jasmine in boosting cognitive function.
Study participants reported better scores on tasks that involved attentional processes, virtual recognition memory, working memory and visual-motor response speed aftertheysmelled cinnamon or chewed cinnamon-flavored gum.14 Improving brain health: two compounds in cinnamon, cinnamaldehyde and epicatechin, were shown to inhibit the aggregation of aprotein called tau.
Tau plays a big role in the structure and function of neurons.
Although this protein is normal in cell structures, if tau accumulates, it can develop *neurofibrillary tangles,* a hallmark of Alzheimer*s disease.15 Cinnamaldehyde and epicatechinwere proven to protect tau from oxidative damage that can lead to dysfunction.16 Supporting weight loss: cinnamon was proven to be effective in regulating postprandialglucose response, or the amount of blood sugar found in your blood after a meal.17 Helping soothe sore throat and/or coughs: a water-soluble fiber called mucilage iscreated when you soak cinnamon sticks in water.
Mucilage then coats and soothes the throat when you drink this infusion. The antibacterial properties of the spice also help treat these ailments.
Increased blood flow and blood oxygen levels (that can assist in fighting infections) could also occur because of cinnamon*s warming properties.

Keeping cancer at bay: cinnamaldehyde was proven to thwart colon cancer cells18 and may be effective versus human liver cancer cells.19 Preventing heart disease:20 not only doescinnamon help stabilize HDL cholesterol levels, but it can reduce total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well.
Alleviating ADHD symptoms:21,22 research has shown that cinnamon was able to help enhance motivation and performance and reduce anxiety and frustration while driving.23Further, the spice assists in counteracting oxidative stress* effects that typically manifest in kids with ADHD.24 Helping diabetes patients: cinnamon helps lower blood sugarlevels, boost insulin sensitivity and slow down the emptying of the stomach to reduce sharp blood sugar rises after ameal.
Cinnamon was also proven to improve glycemic status, especially in the levels of fasting blood glucose among type 2 diabetes patients.25 The body*s glucose metabolism is alsoincreased by about 20 times, helping enhance the body*s ability to regulate blood sugar.
Lastly, cinnamon exhibited potential in becoming an insulin substitute for type 2 diabetes patients because of the presence of a bioactive component with insulin-like effects.26 How Is Cinnamon Typically Used?
Most people know cinnamon because it*s a popular ingredient in pastry.27 Did you know, however, that cinnamon can be utilized for medicinal purposes as well?

Combine cinnamon powder, cocoa powder and cornstarch until the color suits your skin.
Simply add more cocoa powder if you want a darker hue or more cornstarch if you want a lighter shade.
Once you get the color you wanted, mix it with plain and unscented lotion and store in a clean jar with a lid.32 Massage or baths: combine * teaspoon of ground cinnamon, * cup ofalmond or sesame oil and * teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Before using, shake the oil gently.33 Ant repellent: if ants have become a recurring problem in your home, sprinklepowdered cinnamon along the windowsills to help prevent these insects from coming in, as they have anaversion to cinnamon.
Just be sure to replace the powder when they get wet.34 Holiday home d*cor: should you feel like your home needs extra decorating, especially during the holidays, you can usecinnamon sticks to make a wreath.

Ingredients 1 serving
Preparation Active 10 m Ready In 1 h
Make Ahead Tip:
- 2/3 cup canola oil
- 1 1/2 cups turbinado sugar, divided (see Tip)
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons molasses
- 2 cups sifted whole-wheat pastry flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Preparation Active 10 m Ready In 1 h
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Mix oil and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl until combined.
- Beat in egg until combined.
- Stir in molasses until evenly incorporated.

Ingredients 36 servings
Make Ahead Tip:
Store cookies in an airtight container, with wax paper between the layers, for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
Tips:
Storage smarts: For long-term freezer storage, wrap your food in a layer of plastic wrap followed by a layer of foil. The plastic will help prevent freezer burn while the foil will help keep off-odors from seeping into the food.
- 2/3 cup whole-wheat pastry
- flour
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar or 1/3 cup Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking (see Tips)
- 3/4 cup canned unseasoned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup dark molasses
- 1 cup raisins
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Coat 3 baking sheets with cooking spray.

Make Ahead Tip:
Store cookies in an airtight container, with wax paper between the layers, for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
Tips:
- Whole-wheat pastry flour is milled from soft wheat. It contains less gluten than regular whole-wheat flour and helps ensure a tender result in delicate baked goods while providing the nutritional benefits of whole grains. Find it at large supermarkets and natural-foods stores. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
- In the EatingWell Test Kitchen, sucralose is the only alternative sweetener we test with when we feel the option is appropriate.
- For nonbaking recipes, we use Splenda Granular (boxed, not in a packet).
- For baking, we use Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking, a mix of sugar and sucralose. It can be substituted in recipes (1/2 cup of the blend for each 1 cup of sugar) to reduce sugar calories by half while maintaining some of the baking properties of sugar. If you make a similar blend with half sugar and half Splenda Granular, substitute this homemade mixture cup for cup.
Storage smarts: For long-term freezer storage, wrap your food in a layer of plastic wrap followed by a layer of foil. The plastic will help prevent freezer burn while the foil will help keep off-odors from seeping into the food.

TAI CH
Tai Chi is a type of martial art very well known for its defense techniques and health benefits.
The martial art has evolved over the years into an effective means of alleviating stress and anxiety. It has been considered to be a form of 'meditation in motion' which promotes serenity and inner peace.
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese tradition, its beliefs are thought to have been created by the Taoist monk Zhang Sanfeng in the 12th century.
The phrase "t'ai chi ch'uan" translates to "supreme ultimate fist" or "boundless fist". Tai Chi has influences that go back to Taoist and Buddhist monasteries.
There are five different styles of Tai Chi, each with their own separate methods and principles:
Tai Chi is considered to be safe for people of all ages as it does not put too much stress on the muscles and joints.
In addition to being safe, Tai Chi is also inexpensive as it does not require much equipment. It can be practiced either in a group or alone.
Modern research has found that Tai Chi has positive effects on balance control, fitness, and flexibility. In addition, the martial art has been claimed to reduce the risk of falls among elderly individuals who have suffered from severe heart conditions.
SHAMANISM
Shaman are spiritual beings with the ability to heal, work with energies and 'see' visions. The essential characteristics of shaman are mastery of energy and fire as a medium of transformation.
Shamanism is a range of traditional beliefs and practices that involve the ability to diagnose, cure, and sometimes cause human suffering by traversing the axis mundi and forming a special relationship with, or gaining control over, spirits. Shamans have been credited with the ability to control the weather, divination, the interpretation of dreams, astral projection, and traveling to upper and lower worlds. Shamanistic traditions have existed throughout the world since prehistoric times.
Shamanism is based on the premise that the visible world is pervaded by invisible forces or spirits that affect the lives of the living. In contrast to animism and animatism, which any and usually all members of a society practice, shamanism requires specialized knowledge or abilities. Shamans are not, however, organized into full-time ritual or spiritual associations, as are priests.

Happy 2016 everyone! Its hard to believe that 2015 is over - frankly, I couldn’t wait until it was over. There was difficulty, elation, fun and a lot of growth this last year. There was, as most of you know, a health scare that could have made a huge impact on my life - but everything turned out for the best! Because of the positive outcome of that situation, I have been going ahead with some fabulous plans for the future! I can’t tell you how excited I am to continue my business into the 26th year; its been the best of all possible worlds, and I truly love what I do!
