How to Use Cinnamon as a Treatment for Arthritis
- 1). Heat the water in the microwave. You should heat it on high for about 90 seconds so that it is hot, but not boiling--much like you would drink tea.
- 2). Mix in the honey and the cinnamon. The honey will dissolve, but the cinnamon may not dissolve entirely.
- 3). Drink the warm liquid slowly. You should drink it while it is warm, but there is no reason to chug it. Try and treat it as you would a relaxing cup of tea. You may need to stir it periodically to keep the cinnamon from settling.
- 4). Drink the cinnamon and honey "tea" twice each day. You should have one cup in the morning for breakfast, and another shortly before bed. Although this sounds like a wives tale herbal recipe, Copenhagen University administered this exact compound to 200 people afflicted with severe arthritis. Over 1/3 reported reduced symptoms within one week, and after one month, nearly all had significantly better mobility with far less pain.
