Raise your hand if you think cinnamon is loaded with benefits. Just like you, we feel the same. This rich, aromatic spice is not just flavourful but also packs a punch with its nutrients. But it can also have some side-effects if you consume it more than it’s required. Most of us tend to overdo anything, when we realise that it’s good for our health. And then we complain that we haven’t received any benefits! We have with us, nutritionist Manisha Chopra, who educates us on how over-consuming cinnamon has adverse effects on our health. That’s because regular cinnamon contains high amounts of coumarin (an aromatic organic chemical compound), which contributes to liver damage and cancer. Also, read: 5 amazing ways to use cinnamon or dalchini for glowing and healthy skin Shocked? Well, here are five more side effects of consuming too much cinnamon listed by Ms Chopra:

1. It can lead to respiratory problems

“Sometimes we tend to inhale ground cinnamon while eating or even preparing meals. It can trigger coughing, sneezing, and difficulty in breathing. People with asthma should also be careful while using it,” she says.

2. It can also led to allergies

Cinnamon can also cause allergies like skin irritation, and stomach issues in some people. So, be careful while eating cinnamon and observe your eating patterns to know if you’re allergic to cinnamon.

3. It can make you dizzy

“Consuming too much cinnamon can drop sugar levels in your body. Due to this you might feel dizzy, experience fatigue, and suffer from anxiety,” warns Manisha.

4. It can cause digestive problems

In some people, consuming too much cinnamon can also lead to a burning sensation in the stomach. It is not just painful, but can even cause stomach ulcers, and cancer. All in all, it hampers the digestive processes, so be very careful!

5. It can cause mouth sores

Cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde, and this is the main reason due why some people experience mouth ulcers. Some people also complain about burning and an itchy sensation on the tongue or in gums. “I would recommend 2 to 4 grams or approx 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a day. Anything more that can be problematic. Also, if you’re taking some medication, then you have to be cautious, as it can also react with that,” she suggests.

These people should refrain from cinnamon, according to Manisha

If you already have or have previously had liver disease

If you get mouth ulcers easily, then you should be cautious while eating cinnamon Cinnamon can cause premature labour or uterine contractions. So, pregnant women and lactating women should avoid eating too much cinnamon. Gastroparesis patients should also limit their cinnamon consumption as their bodies are not able to digest it properly.

Compounds present in cinnamon have properties to trouble diabetic patients.

Asthma patients should be careful while using cinnamon. They should make sure that they don’t accidentally inhale cinnamon because it causes instant cough and breathing issues. It’s not that we are dismissing the benefits that cinnamon has to offer, but too much of it can be harmful for you. So, watch out for the quantity if you want to stay safe.

What is the best natural deterrent for spiders?

Cinnamon, tea tree, lavender, rose, eucalyptus, and peppermint essential oils: Add 20 drops of any of these oils to water in a spray bottle, and spritz it around the house where you see spiders. Cedar: Place cedar chips, blocks, or balls in places where spiders congregate in the house.

Spider bites are rare, because like bees, or mice, or raccoons, spiders won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. Although all spiders are venomous, the majority of spider bites that you could get in North America are even more harmless than a mosquito bite, because spiders aren’t disease vectors like mosquitoes are. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the two types of spiders that are “medically important” (i.e., really bad) in the United States are black widows and brown recluse spiders, and only some species of these types bite. Both stay well-hidden and will only bite you if you come into direct contact with them. Want to see black widows and brown recluse spiders up close? Have a look.
