I give it to abbu in tea for cholestrol control and it works very well 
Re: Health Benefits of Cinnamon...
Thanks for sharing that LP , what quantity do you use ? and is it in the whole form or powder form?
Re: Health Benefits of Cinnamon...
what i do it...take warm water or tea(without milk) and add one teaspoon cinnamon powder and one tablespoon honey and this works very well for lowering abbu's cholestrol level.
Re: Health Benefits of Cinnamon...
^Yup i've heard this too that it's supposed to be good for lowering cholestrol, i suggested it to my mum cos she has high cholestrol but she says it raises her blood pressure(which is already too high) :-/
Re: Health Benefits of Cinnamon...
There are also health studies suggesting that it helps with insulin resistance, so can be beneficial fro diabetic people.
It's good for digestion too, the age old kehwa our mothers make has it as one of the ingredients.

Re: Health Benefits of Cinnamon...
I'm not sure if this is right or not but I've heard that cinnamon speeds up the metabolism and drinking a cup of warm water every morning (with some cinnamon powder and squeezed lemon juice) can help in weight loss.

Arthritis
Take one part honey to two parts of lukewarm water and add a small teaspoon of cinnamon powder, make a paste and massage it on the itching part of the body slowly. It is noticed that the pain recedes within a minute or two
Hair Loss
Those suffering from hair loss or baldness, may apply a paste of hot olive oil, one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder before bath and keep it for approx. 15 min. and then wash the hair. It was found to be very effective.
Toothache
Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be done 3 times a day daily till such time that the tooth has stopped aching.

In the morning gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water. So the breath stays fresh throughout the day.
