Cinnamon and its prospects in folk medicine.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum and Cinnamomum cassia) is a promising treatment for the management of type 2 diabetes in clinical practice. It contains active substances such as cinnamaldehyde, which have a positive effect on carbohydrate metabolism and blood sugar levels. Studies show that cinnamon can improve tissue sensitivity to insulin and help reduce fasting glucose levels, as well as reduce glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
