LONG DESCRIPTION
The one in the office who is always cold, in a jumper in June. If that is you, you will know already.
Cinnamon is one of the spices Ayurveda reaches for in that case. It belongs with the warming ones, gentler than ginger and a long way gentler than cayenne, and the tradition uses it for digestion as much as for warmth.
Ceylon, the true cinnamon
Most of the cinnamon in a British kitchen is cassia. Ceylon is the other one, the true cinnamon. Cinnamomum verum, and verum means true. It's the variety people tend to choose when cinnamon is going to be taken every day rather than used now and then in a crumble. It's milder and sweeter, and it costs more.
How Ayurveda places it
In the tradition's terms it's warming and sweet, one of the gentler warming spices rather than a fierce one. The difference between the two cinnamons is worth knowing before you buy either.
Inner bark only
The soft inner bark is peeled by hand, the rough outer layer scraped away, then the bark is dried and ground. 500mg a capsule. One ingredient, and the capsule that holds it.
Earlier in the day suits most people better than late evening.

Ayurvediq began on a turmeric farm in India. Talia and Graham went out to see where it grew, came back with a good deal more than turmeric, and the range grew from there. We still work with the same growing communities. If you would like to know more about a particular herb, or which of these might suit you, write to us at support@ayurvediq.com. Where these come from is the part we know inside out.
