Use Cinnamon for Menstrual Cramps and Fertility

How can I tell the difference between cassia cinnamon and true cinnamon when I buy it in the store?

How do I know I am not buying cassia when there is so little labeling on spices?. I have tried: Shopping in bulk food stores for cinnamon, shopping in specialty spice stores and shopping for cinnamon in the spice aisle of the grocery store.

There is not a dramatic difference between Cassia Cinnamon and Ceylon Cinnamon. They are both from the same plant and carry the same healing and taste properties. What you should be looking for is how old the cinnamon spice is. Spices have a short shelf life and the fresher the spice, the better the taste or effectiveness. You can also purchase cinnamon sticks or bark and grate it at home.

Can cinnamon powder induce a miscarriage?

Excessive amounts of cinnamon powder stimulate uterine contraction which can induce premature labor or miscarriage if you have other high risk complications and there are also other countries that use cinnamon as a form of birth control method. According to some research, the cinnamon powder has a coumarin compound which is toxic to the liver and has a rodenticide properties (which is a poisonous substance to rats). They also found out that in one kilogram cinnamon powder has about 2100 to 4400 mg of the toxic compound coumarin which means that in one teaspoon powder of cinnamon approximately contains 5.8 to 12.1 mg of coumarin. Moreover, cinnamon powder if taken excessively also causes allergic reactions, diarrhea, gastritis and depresses the central nervous system which can lead to death in some people. If you are pregnant, I recommend avoiding taking cinnamon powder or oil as it may put your pregnancy at risk for premature labor or miscarriage.
