The “true” cinnamon tree is an evergreen tree that can grow up to fifteen metres tall.
Originally from present-day Sri Lanka, it belongs to the Lauraceae family. Its leaves are long and shiny; its small round flowers give berries of a dark blue.
Cinnamon is known to reduce feelings of depression, fainting and exhaustion. It is known to relax the body enough to stimulate libido, making it an effective natural aphrodisiac.
It is essentially antiseptic, antiviral and antibacterial, with a
very broad spectrum of action on microbes, even resistant to antibiotics.
It is used against respiratory infections (sinusitis, bronchitis, cold, flu), urinary (cystitis), or intestinal (gastroenteritis, turista).
It is also a remarkable antispasmodic and antiparasitic.
