According to a recent review study by researchers from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California, a very well-known herb, often used in desserts, cakes and pies has an amazing ability to tackle type 2 diabetes.
In addition, this spice promotes cardiovascular health by reducing harmful LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in blood.
In the recent review study, researchers analyzed results of 10 randomized control lead studies of cinnamon’s effects on diabetes patients.
Studies involved 543 participants, all suffering from type 2 diabetes and compared two groups; one that took a cinnamon supplement for a period of 4 to 18 weeks, and the other that took no supplement.
The daily dose of a supplement ranged from 120 milligrams to 6 grams.
After summarizing the results, study investigators discovered a significant improvement on blood glucose and cholesterol levels in study participants who took the supplement.
In fact, their fasting glucose levels were reduced by an impressive amount of 25 milligrams/deciliter.
Researchers explain that the secret benefits of cinnamon lie in a powerful compound called cinnamaldehyde, which has the ability to control and stimulate the effects of insulin.
Improved insulin sensitivity lowers high blood glucose levels, drastically improving type 2 diabetes.
According to researchers, the same substance is responsible for cardiovascular benefits of cinnamon. It has been observed that cinnamon supplements not only reduced “bad” LDL cholesterol but also increased the levels of HDL, or “good” cholesterol.
Make sure you are getting the best quality cinnamon powder or supplements since many types of “cinnamon” sold in supermarkets include almost no cinnamon.
But taking cinnamon is only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to healing type 2 diabetes.
Cinnamon has been recognized as a cure for many ailments in Auyrvedic treatments which dates back to more than 3000 years. If taken in its stick form without any mechanical conversion forms from young days,one can avoid many ailments common to elders of today.
Sri Lanka and Kerala in India produces the best Cinnamon in the world. Hence the attraction to many middle eastern and European traders in the 16th to 20th centuries.

Use cinnamon and honey drink as a powerful remedy to improve my health and protect from all kind of illnesses. So far in my 70-ies I am healthy as ever!
thanks for the information!
Over the past 50 years, as a practising Naturopath, I have learned of the goodness of Cinnamon as an aid to help one control Type 2 Diabetes. I have seen thousands, including myself, diagnosed with the so called disease, who with a change of lifestyle and the use of cinnamon. have been free from the problem. Due to the over use of Statins and other prescribed drugs, plus the harm of Sugar, diabetes is now endemic. Try telling the Medical profession that Type 2 diabetes, in seven cases out of ten, can be reversed if treated naturally, only to be laughed at. They are on a bonanza as they exploit the SICKNESS INDUSTRY by diagnosing people as having Diabetes when in most instances they are borderline. Some simple advice about harmless and entirely natural short time treatment is all that is required. The evidence, if required, is here on files.
what brand of cinnamon do you use and how much water and how many tsp of honey.
Is there some reason why you don’t name brands of supplements in your articles that are pure which would be helpful or at least report where to get that information if we don’t want to use your methods????
hey ! where con one make an order for original cinnamon bark or powder?
I would also like to know how many sticks in how much water and honey. Must I use organic only?
DEAR THERESA AND CLINTON,
I USE 1 TEASPOON OF HONEY WITH HALF A SPOON OF CINAMMON MIXED IN A GLASS OF WARM WATER
(HONEY MELTS BETTER IN WARM WATER) AND DRINK IT IN THE MORNING, BEFORE BREAKFAST. IT IS THE BEST REMEDY! I USE THE CINAMMON BRAND CALLED SIMPLY ORGANIC.
MARTIN,
You can find simply organic brand of cinnamon in the health food stores or in amazon shop online.
Thank all of you for the precious information you are giving me,God Bless you all of you!
Thanks Mary for making it clear about the cinnamon. I thought the store brand like Badia or McCormick would be ok. Also I will be increasing my Vit. C. Great information.
