HELP FOR Lynchburg MIGRAINE
Cinnamon’s
anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties were tested 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 reduced
the frequency, severity and duration of migraine attacks.
Cinnamon eased migraine in this study! As far as cinnamon goes, it’s safe. (1) Palmer Chiropractic Center happily presents
research-based safe alternatives to try for health.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a common health issue
for many Lynchburg folks. Cinnamon
supplementation 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 reported that cinnamon reduced blood pressure. A new
meta-analysis of 9 randomized clinical trials reported that cinnamon
supplementation can improve blood pressure by a modest degree
overall. Significant reductions in both diastolic
and systolic blood pressure lessened
when taking 2 grams or more a day of cinnamon for at least 8
weeks. (3) That is news worth sharing with our
Lynchburg chiropractic patients.
DIABETES TYPE II
Palmer Chiropractic Center cares for many patients
who also are dealing with diabetes type II. Diabetes
mellitus is a disease encompassing many
different issues associated with insulin resistance or low
production of it by the pancreas. This all brings
about lifelong damage to organs over a lifetime.
Management is complex. Herbs are frequently added to the
management. Cinnamon is cited 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) Palmer Chiropractic Center wants to know what our
chiropractic patients are using and if they find benefit.
