🌿 About Cinnamon & Honey
Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties and honey contains local pollen that can build tolerance.
✅ Key Benefits
📋 How to Use Cinnamon & Honey
Mix 1 tsp local raw honey with ½ tsp cinnamon in warm water. Drink daily before allergy season.
⚠️ Safety & Precautions
Use local raw honey for best results. Avoid if allergic to cinnamon.
☠️ Overdose & Toxicity Risks
⚠️ What happens if taken in excess:
Cassia cinnamon (the common grocery store variety) contains high levels of coumarin, which is hepatotoxic. Consuming more than 1-2 tsp of cassia cinnamon daily long-term can cause liver damage. The European Food Safety Authority set a tolerable daily intake at 0.1mg/kg body weight of coumarin. Ceylon ('true') cinnamon contains far less coumarin and is safer for regular use. Very high cinnamon doses can cause mouth sores, low blood sugar, and allergic reactions.
