From Our Reading and/or Experience...

• This is not like the Cinnamon you may find on a spice rack in a supermarket. This is much fresher and more effective.
• We use it very often in tincture combinations and in capsules. Of course, it can be used in many other types of remedies, except as a tea as powders are not normally used in tea combinations. Most often we add it to other remedies (especially tinctures) to make them taste better.
• Cinnamon is a food and spice. Thus, we keep it in the kitchen as all other food ingredients. We add it to many dishes (hot cereals, meat dishes, deserts, stir fry, vegetables, etc.) to enhance the flavor and add nutritional value to our foods.
• Like most spices, Cinnamon is a potent flavor enhancer. Use it often, but a little goes a long way. We find ourselves adding it to more recipes everyday.
• Cinnamon can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing), children and animals.
• It can be used as often as you would like, and in any way you choose.
• As is the case with most spices, Cinnamon should be stored in a dark, dry, and cool place.

Re: cassia or ceylon cinnamon
by Bulk Herb Store on May 3, 2013

I have read too that ceylon is considered the "true" cinnamon and the cassia is a different type of cinnamon with a much higher level of coumarins, which can pose health risks if taken in excessive amounts over a long period of time because of it's high anticoagulant properties. But it seems to be quite safe if taken in amounts used in cooking etc. So I would just be careful not to take it in high dosages every day. Our current batch originates from Vietnam.
