Health Benefits of Cinnamon | Dr. Josh Axe

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.

Green tea + honey + cinnamon in the morning. I used to suffer from allergies. All gone since I began drinking this mix.

Recently  I used Cinnamon on a very persistent cold sore & with amazing result - I simply broke open the tiny blisters & dabbed on Cinnamon & left it on overnight . Next day the blisters had dried up & healing was happening

I love Dr Axe. He has such a positive energy and vibe. Just watching him makes me feel better. He makes me feel that there are good people in the world, which in itself provides hope and healing. In addition, he shares helpful information, which is very much appreciated. I wish more people in the world were like him, kind, caring and humble with an open heart. Thanking God for you Dr Axe!

All Cassia type Cinnamon have high levels of Coumarin a substance known to cause liver damage, while Ceylon Cinnamon is the only soft and brittle Cinnamon with ultra low Coumarin levels.
