4 Reasons Why Cinnamon Improves Your Health

Cinnamon is one of the most popular spices around the world because of its distinct aroma and sweetness. A pinch of cinnamon does wonders to a hot drink or a cool dessert. But this fragrant spice does more than just satisfy the palate. It helps the body fight off diseases, disorders, and infection. There are different types of cinnamon that are sold in markets. Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is called “true cinnamon,” but is expensive compared to Cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum aromaticum).

The word ‘lavender’ comes from the Latin verb lavare, which means to wash. Aptly named, lavender is the perfect herb to wash away your worries and many other ailments!

Lavender, like many other herbal remedies, can be just as (if not more) effective on symptoms as their pharmaceutical counterparts. Herbal remedies are also usually free from the side effects associated with pharmaceuticals.
