Cinnamon is perfect for people who are chilled easily or have diabetes because it helps stimulate the circulatory system. Simmer it like a tea and drink during a bout with a cold, flu, or respiratory infection. Cinnamon Tea is good for digestive and stomach troubles too, making it a perfect after dinner drink. It can reduce inflammation such as arthritis, it can be used as a warming tonic and is often used in topical arthritis rubs. The essential oil provides the heat in a warming liniment to relax tight muscles, ease painful joints, 

relieve menstrual cramps, and increase circulation. Spicy Simmering Potpourri Mix equal parts: Dried apple slices, dried orange rind, allspice, broken cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and cedar chips. Use about
