Within minutes of your first round of sniffles or an itch in your throat, Cinnamon Tea is said to put an immediate halt to any impending illness.
DIGESTIVE AID
Cinnamon contains compounds called catechins, which help relieve nausea. The volatile oil in cinnamon bark may also help the body to process food by breaking down fats during digestion. So there are a lot of benefits of cinnamon that are good for your digestion.
