Ok, so cinnamon?

I’ve read that dosing with (Ceylon) cinnamon is great for helping regulate blood sugar and inflammation. Anyone here take it on the daily? Have you noticed any positive side effects?

My pitbull is getting cinnamon daily for the last few years, it is amazing. It helps him look and feel better. its almost like a pain reliever. We notice the effects if he doesnt get his cinnamon for a few days.

Thank you!

Someone said in private that they did get some blood sugar regulation effects (thank you!) and the anti-inflammatory properties are also super attractive to me. I am not a fan of taking pain relievers but my knees and hips are kinda crunchy some days and need to do something as a maintenance plan.

I have had good results with turmeric as well!

My boy has cancer and i have noticed that the cinnamon is great at making his joints a little more limber. It also helps with the allergies that cancer causes. I am a firm believer in the holistic approach above taking pills for everything.

I take 2000mg of tumeric on a daily basis for general reduction of inflammation in the body. There is great body of literature that has established this as a great anti inflammatory agent.

Agreed! I *really* notice a difference when I stop taking it. I go from not taking any Naproxen for weeks to waking up wanting one so that my joints don't feel like they are full of sand.
Losing weight has helped my joint pain tremendously but some of this is just residual for carrying so much weight for so long. Exercise helps too though, thank Goddess!

I LOLed after I posted. At the top of the page you and I discussed tumeric in 2014!

I've just spotted an interesting item on the Science Daily webiste about the oestrogenic/androgen antagonist effects of lavender oil and tea tree oil, which apparently has had feminising effects on pre-pubertal boys in a number of cases: https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0318144856.htm
