Drinking cinnamon tea helps detox the body, lower blood sugar, lose weight, and regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle. It’s also helpful for indigestion because it’s rich in magnesium, iron, calcium, fiber, and vitamins C and B1.

Cinnamon also has relaxing properties. Its strong aroma makes it one of the best options when choosing a scent for your home, office, or car.
