Health Benefits of Cinnamon | Dr. Josh Axe

13 Major Health Benefits of Cinnamon: bit.ly/2SsScu1
In today’s video, I want to talk about the incredible health benefits of cinnamon. Cinnamon has been used for over 4,000 years and was used as a holy anointing oil in the Bible, having incredible therapeutic and antioxidant benefits.
Some of the ways I recommend using cinnamon are:
1. For healing any skin conditions
2. For diabetes
3. Improving energy levels (helps with weight loss and balancing hormones)
4. Helps heal and cure candida (improves UTI)
The cinnamon you’re consuming needs to be Ceylon instead of cassia. Ceylon cinnamon is better for you internally and doesn’t have any of the side effects that cassia has. Some of the best ways to get cinnamon in your diet are by adding it to your morning smoothie or a homemade dessert.

I put it in my coffee almost daily and in Greek yogurt with blueberries. Chicken, fish oil, olive oil, avocados, Greek yogurt, blueberries, cinnamon, spinach, whole eggs, and garlic daily. Healthy fats, berries, green leafy veggies, full fat meat, fish oils, working out 5x a week, and cinnamon on a keto diet have kept my skin glowing, hair extremely healthy, and really helped out my depression.

[@bushramansoor1576]

How u use them..especially coconut oil

[@bloodwindpvp4364]

not if you dont know how to use them properly there are other very strong ashagandha garlic red propolis and instead fresh ginger + garlic +_raw honey (dark) bio is a great combo add some banana , only cocunut extra virgin oil carefull xd fresh turmeric or if not you need some fat+lemon or apple cider vinegar to ignore the chance of oxalate problems and stones. and with honey + turmeric +fatif properly blended give you the maximum effectivness , also add lemon+unfiltered (means fresh less than 6 months and more powerfull) +olive oil , and if you want for skin face care unfiltered olive oil + few drops of tea tree essential oil bio and later extra virgin cocunut oil + turmeric +raw honey for 20 min

Thanks for the essential oil videos! You mentioned that the Holy Anointing Oil was to be poured on the heads of the sick; according to Exodus 30:32, "Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you." Hope that helps.

In otherwords, true cinnamon is known as "cinnamomum zeylanicum" (or cinnamomum verum), as opposed to "cinnamomum cassia" that originates from China. And as a side note, that is where Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) derives its name from (zeylanicum --> Ceylon). I use cinnamon every morning with my cereals! And many thanks for your videos, love them!

If you're into anti-oxidants, not much is better than Cinnamon in terms of concentration, since many items that are higher (only 6 known according to this video) are not always edible. But like anything else, don't go crazy and start chugging Cinnamon...anything can be bad when you take too much. Make sure you find out what is a reasonable serving size.

[@1afghanqand]

Because of how much I love cinnamon I’m watching this cardio to make sure it doesn’t harm me.... I mean I try to keep the balance but I can’t imagine my day without cinnamon!!!! Btw u can add cinnamon to your tea, milk, pea nut butter (on a slice of toast or banana yummmm), banana shake and you can add cinnamon to many desserts but the ones I just mentioned are the easiest.

The trunk of the tree is the brain of the tree. Leaves are the hair of the tree. Cinnamon bark is the knowledge base of the cinnamon tree. Cinnamon is the protective outer bark of the tree. So cinnamon is the armor of the tree. Cinnamon is the part of the trunk that keeps the tree standing. Cinnamon can protect your health like armor. Cinnamon can protect your skin from aging. Cinnamon can strengthen the bones that hold you up. The effect of thick-skinned cinnamon may be stronger.Just like a thick armor. But carrying thick armor can be difficult. It may be safer to drink cinnamon with milk. Cinnamon can be eaten with raw honey. Looking thin like tree bark... Yes, cinnamon can help you lose weight. Being healthy means being at an ideal weight. If the cinnamon bark protects the tree, it can also protect your stomach and intestines. Cinnamon with honey can help you lose weight faster. Bees are very hardworking, bees are light and never gain weight. You can also lose weight by eating carob. Being thin, hard, durable and sweet like carob means being healthy. Cinnamon bark is the texture of the tree. Cinnamon can repair body tissues. Let the honey act as an ointment. Cinnamon bark is removed from the trunk "under" the tree. High blood sugar, high blood pressure, high cholesterol represent "up". Cinnamon can lower your blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Now your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol are at the level of the tree trunk. Your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol are now as thin as cinnamon bark.
