I love the smell of fresh cinnamon! Don't you?! I love it even more during the fall and winter months. It just brings the smell of coziness into the home.
History of Cinnamon Bark
The use of cinnamon dates back thousands of years. Chinese herbals from the past mentioned it as a treatment for diarrhea and menstrual problems. Cinnamon was introduced around 500 b.c. to the Egyptians, who then added it to their embalming mixures. Hebrews, Greeks and Romans used it as a spice, perfume and for indigestion. By the 17th century, cinnamon was considered a culinary spice by the Europeans. {soure}
