Cinnamon bark is a stimulating, warming herb that improves circulation and is helpful in strengthening and supporting a weak digestive system. The bark has been used medicinally for thousands of years in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Traditionally, cinnamon bark was used as a remedy for fever, gastrointestinal upsets and menstrual problems. The active components of cinnamon bark are known to be antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, antifungal and antispasmodic. Cinnamon bark is especially valuable to the digestive system because it remedies gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and indigestion, while also aiding the break down of fat during digestion. It is also helpful for infections and wound healing, blood pressure reduction, blood sugar regulation and is known to be an aphrodisiac.
To use: Take two capsules two to three times per day with meals, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
