| Properties and applications |
Drink cinnamon hydrosol for sheer pleasure; add it to coffee for a wonderful touch, or combine cinnamon, coriander seed, and cardamom pod hydrosols with hot water for an aromatherapy chai.
The bark is quite stimulating to the mind and body, excellent when one is tired and concentration and focus are required, much better than coffee and delicious with coffee. An amazing digestive, it relieves bloat and colic pains very quickly. The bark oil is famous for its ability to kill infections of the digestive tract without damaging the beneficial flora; it appears that the hydrosol has similar, if slightly less potent, effects, and using the two in synergy can achieve pretty remarkable results. Combine cinnamon with yarrow – yes, it overpowers yarrow’s odor – to redress the balance of the entire digestive system, from appetite to elimination. |
