The benefits of cinnamon tea go far beyond its soothing and exotic taste! Sweet, soothing, spicy, and a little bit exotic... cinnamon is versatile and much loved: a favorite not only in sweet and savory dishes, but in tea, as well! 

Used in traditional medicine for many centuries, Cassia cinnamon may be effective in blood sugar control, reducing vomiting, treating menstrual cramps, etc. While some research has been conducted, further evidence is required to determine its effectiveness for these and other conditions. 

Some other benefits of drinking cinnamon tea include, but are not limited to:* 

• Anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal properties. Fights viruses (such as cold and flu viruses), inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria (like E. coli or the bacteria that causes UTIs), and combats infections (such as medication-resistant yeast infections caused by the fungus Candida albicans).
• Anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation has been linked to many health concerns and harmful diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, infertility, obesity, PCOS, IBS, Crohn's, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Cinnamon tea is a natural and tasty way to fight and protect against the potentially destructive effects of inflammation.
• Contains potent antioxidants - more than almost all other spices and herbs. Cinnamon's antioxidant levels are comparable with other high-antioxidant foods; for example, just one teaspoon of ground cinnamon has as many antioxidants as 1/2 cup of blueberries! The inclusion of antioxidant-rich foods and beverages in our diet is essential, because antioxidants provide us with numerous health benefits. They protect us from the effects of free radicals, prevent and fight chronic diseases (like heart disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis), and reduce signs of aging (like wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity)!
• Improves circulation. Poor circulation can affect the body in a host of ways, from presentation of varicose veins to constipation to painful joints. Cinnamon tea helps to increase blood flow and is a natural blood thinner as well.
• Can reduce swelling and arthritic or rheumatic aches and pains 
• Serves as a weight-loss tea. Cinnamon's antioxidant properties help boost metabolism, and cinnamon also helps improve digestive tract function (essential for weight loss - and for feeling good, too!). Its ability to stabilize blood sugar levels can also help by making you feel satiated and reduce cravings. 
• Wards off chills. If your hands and feet are always cold or you find chilly winds turn your nose into a popsicle, a cup of cinnamon tea can warm you right up!

Very high quantities of cinnamon may be toxic, so, as a general rule, it's best not to consume excessive amounts of cinnamon tea for extended periods of time. The NCCAM (National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine) indicates that cinnamon is generally safe for most people in amounts of up to 6 grams of cinnamon daily for 6 weeks or less.

As with any tea that is new to you, watch for any side effects you may be experiencing. If your nose runs, your eyes itch and water, or you break out in a rash after drinking cinnamon tea, you may have an allergy to cinnamon.
