Cinnamon. It’s a tasty way to address
several health issues: migraine, blood pressure,
diabetes mellitus. Chiropractic is all about health! Nutritional approaches to
various ailments boost the body’s ability
to take care of itself. The key is figuring out which ones work for what! Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC describes a few
of the latest papers concerning this simple
ingredient, cinnamon.
HELP FOR La Grande MIGRAINE
The anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties of cinnamon were put to the
test for migraine management. Migraine, the most common primary headache
type, has higher levels of inflammation. Compared to a control treatment,
cinnamon significantly decreased levels of inflammatory agents,
interleukin-6 and nitric oxide. Cinnamon also decreased
the frequency, severity and duration of migraine attacks.
Cinnamon helped migraine in this study! As far as cinnamon goes, it’s safe. (1) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC gladly presents
research-based safe alternatives to try for health.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a common health issue
for many La Grande folks. Supplementing with cinnamon favorably and significantly affected
diastolic blood pressure and when taken for more than 8 weeks significantly
affected systolic blood pressure. (2) Quite a few studies
have stated that cinnamon reduced blood pressure. A new
meta-analysis of 9 randomized clinical trials reported that cinnamon
supplementation can boost blood pressure by a modest degree
overall. Significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure reduced
when using 2 grams or more a day of cinnamon for at least 8
weeks. (3) That’s news worth giving to our
La Grande chiropractic patients.
DIABETES TYPE II
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC takes care of many patients
who also have diabetes type II. Diabetes
mellitus is a disease involving many
different issues associated with insulin resistance or low
production of it by the pancreas. This all results in lifelong damage to organs over a lifetime.
Management is complex. Herbs are frequently included in the
management. Cinnamon is mentioned as a
favorable choice for diabetic hypertensive patients. (4) A
survey of the use of complementary alternative medicine by diabetic patients revealed
that many use bitter apple, ginger, fenugreek, garlic and cinnamon. 66.1% used
cinnamon. (5) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC requests to know what our
chiropractic patients are using and if they find benefit.
