This post may include affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. I was very fortunate to grow up with two wonderful and caring grandmothers. My maternal grandmother, Jesusita, passed away when she was 98 years old, and my paternal grandmother, Anita, passed away at the age of 92. Just the other day, I was thinking about the incredible lives they lived, and all they experienced. Although they only met each other a couple of times they had a lot in common, and I have a feeling they would have enjoyed each others company. Both of their husbands passed away young and they were left to raise their children alone. They were both strong women, fabulous cooks, and very healthy. I was starting to wonder if there was a secret ingredient in common, and then it hit me… Cinnamon! Both my grandmothers drank “canelita” té de canela (cinnamon tea), as well as used the aromatic spice in savory and sweet dishes. After researching, I realized there are surprising health benefits and unique healing abilities associated with this beloved spice. Cinnamon can help lower cholesterol, reduce sugar levels, treat bad breath, protect against heart disease, boost brain activity and help with memory loss, fight yeast infections, treat stomach ulcers, alleviate gas, nausea and indigestion, increase blood circulation, act as a natural diuretic, and more. I especially love drinking té de canela with honey in the colder months, but have also incorporated this spice into my daily baking and cooking. If you’re ready to start taking cinnamon as a natural remedy I’d highly recommend you add a pinch to your tea or coffee, sprinkle some on your wheat toast, and for a delicious tea, try this enchanting aromatic hibiscus-cinnamon tea. My mom made hibiscus tea with the addition of cinnamon over the holidays and it is so fragrant and smells like Christmas. Hibiscus has a tart, cranberry-like flavor, and sugar or honey can be added to sweeten it. This tea can be served hot or cold. And just like cinnamon, hibiscus tea is chockfull of health benefits and loaded with antioxidants such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc. Hibiscus also reduces high blood pressure, helps lower cholesterol, offers liver protection, has strong antioxidant and anti-tumor properties, helps relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression, benefits weight loss, improves digestion, helps boost the immune system, helps improve skin conditions, and more. Sounds too good to be true? If my grandmas both drank té de canela and lived long healthy lives then I’ll drink to that. I’ll be making this tea daily and serving it with dinner. After all, its not going to hurt, and it tastes delicious. I would recommend drinking this rather than sodas. Serve it cold with honey and a splash of sparking water if you are craving some bubbly.

Can cinnamon damage liver be reversed?

Coumarin is a flavouring substance which is contained in relatively high concentrations in cinnamon varieties collectively known as "Cassia cinnamon". In especially sensitive persons, even comparatively small quantities of coumarin can cause liver damage, although the effect is usually reversible.

FAQ on coumarin in cinnamon and other foods

Updated version of FAQ from 27 September 2012

Coumarin is a flavouring substance which is contained in relatively high concentrations in cinnamon varieties collectively known as "Cassia cinnamon". In especially sensitive persons, even comparatively small quantities of coumarin can cause liver damage, although the effect is usually reversible. Isolated coumarin must not be added to foods. However, to flavour foods, coumarin-containing plant parts may be used. For cinnamon-containing foods, new maximum permissible coumarin levels have been in place in the European Union since 2011. In contrast, there are no limit values for cinnamon as a spice. Consumers who take cinnamon-based food supplements should be aware that such products may contain high quantities of Cassia cinnamon. The BfR recommends moderate consumption of Cassia cinnamon. Consumers who frequently use large amounts of cinnamon as spice in their home cooking, for example for rice pudding with sugar and cinnamon, should use Ceylon cinnamon which contains low levels of coumarin.

The BfR has updated FAQ on coumarin and cinnamon.
