Medicinal Importance Of Spices

[Gondor]

One sweet spice I really like to put in everything is cinnamon. I have no idea why people in general don't know more about it. On the other side of the flavor there is garlic that I also use unreasonably.

I'm the same way. I can't have enough of cinnamon, but I find that if I take it too much too often I get accustomed to its flavor. So I take breaks to reignite my desire for it.

We just added cinnamon to my husband's daily regime of pills to see if it will help to keep his blood sugar under control. I also learned this week that basil helps to reduce inflamation and and has antibacterial properties.

We have been reading a lot about herbs and alternative medical treatments lately. I purchased some valerian to help my husband's nightly leg cramps and it helps with headaches too. I also got some St. John's Wort, but I haven't tried it yet.

Just a side note. Please be careful with herbs. Taking too much, or mixing with prescription drugs can be dangerous. Please read up and learn about what you are taking.
