It is used for gastrointestinal infections, bronchitis, severe flu, tropical infections etc. It also has a stimulating and toning effect. It is hyperemic, and increases the local blood flow. This is why it is very useful when preparing for a sporting effort or in case of pain. The major active ingredient of the essential oil is cinnamaldehyde.<\/p>\n<h2>PROPERTIES<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"color: #d61163;\">\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #d61163;\">Antibacterial effect:<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A 2019 study showed that cinnamon essential oil alone is able to inhibit the development of <em>Escherichia coli<\/em>, <em>Staphylococcus aureus<\/em> and <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/em> with the same effectiveness as streptomycin. It also exhibits synergistic activity when used with ampicillin and chloramphenicol against <em>Staphylococcus aureus<\/em> and with chloramphenicol against <em>Escherichia coli<\/em>. It also has an additive effect when used in combination with streptomycin against <em>Staphylococcus aureus<\/em>, <em>Escherichia coli<\/em> and <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/em>. The latter having shown resistance to the use of ampicillin and chloramphenicol alone. This effect is attributed to cinnamaldehyde which interferes with certain biological processes in cells, particularly with proteins and nucleic acids.

The cinnamon tree can reach 15 m in height. It does not support temperatures below 15 degrees. It is only found in tropical regions. Cinnamon is widely used in perfumery and to flavor dishes, in association with turmeric, ginger, nutmeg, cloves or cardamom.<br \/>\nIt is imported from the Orient and has been used for almost 4,000 years. The Chinese cinnamon is the oldest species listed. We find the trace of its therapeutic use in the Chinese pharmacopoeia written 2,700 years ago as well as in the Bible. It is also very important in Ayurvedic medicine. To obtain Chinese cinnamon essential oil, the leafy twig is distilled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15298,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[182],"tags":[659,303],"class_list":["post-11850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-plants","tag-flex-miloa-en","tag-index-plantes-en-c"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miloa.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/miloa.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/miloa.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miloa.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miloa.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/miloa.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miloa.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/miloa.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miloa.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miloa.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
