Cinnamomum improve male sexual function

കറുവപട്ട

     Cinnamon is a spice obtained from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum that is used in both sweet and savoury foods. While Cinnamomum verum is sometimes considered to be "true cinnamon", most cinnamon in international commerce is derived from related species, which are also referred to as "cassia" to distinguish them from "true cinnamon"

Cinnamon comes in several varieties, all of which have been tried as aphrodisiacs and diabetes remedies. The Chinese version, called cassia (Cinnamomum cassia), has been used to improve male sexual function for over 2000 years.  According to the Natural Remedies website, "In Chinese traditional medicine theory, cinnamon can ‘warm' and stimulate kidney, bladder, colon, and genital systems."

Most cinnamon you buy in stores is actually cassia. A 2006 Pakistani study found that powdered cassia reduced fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol.  Some recent studies have shown less benefit. According to a 2005 study in Phytotherapy Research, both cassia and true cinnamon reduced blood sugars in rats, with cassia having a greater effect.  Cinnamon can have a slight blood-thinning effect in some people.

The doses used in studies have ranged from 1/5 teaspoon of cinnamon powder up to one teaspoon a day.
 

      Cinnamon bark is widely used as a spice. It is principally employed in cookery as a condiment and flavouring material. It is used in the preparation of chocolate, especially in Mexico, which is the main importer of cinnamon. It is also used in many dessert recipes, such as apple pie, doughnuts, and cinnamon buns as well as spicy candies, tea, hot cocoa, and liqueurs. True cinnamon, rather than cassia, is more suitable for use in sweet dishes. In the Middle East, it is often used in savoury dishes of chicken and lamb. In the United States, cinnamon and sugar are often used to flavour cereals, bread-based dishes, and fruits, especially apples; a cinnamon-sugar mixture is even sold separately for such purposes. Cinnamon can also be used in pickling. Cinnamon bark is one of the few spices that can be consumed directly. Cinnamon powder has long been an important spice in Persian cuisine, used in a variety of thick soups, drinks, and sweets. It is often mixed with rosewater or other spices to make a cinnamon-based curry powder for stews or just sprinkled on sweet treats . It is also used in sambar powder or BisiBelebath powder in Karnataka, which gives it a rich aroma and tastes unique. It is also used in Turkish cuisine for both sweet and savoury dishes.
