Cinnamon Bark - Tooth and Gums Tonic Ingredients
Cinnamon is a very interesting spice. Many people eat cinnamon in their pastries, gums, drinks and host of sweets & treats but few realize that cinnamon comes from trees. This flavorful tree was one of the original spices traded, alongside frankincense and myrrh in ancient times.
As early as 2000 BC, cinnamon was making waves in the cities of Egypt and beyond. It was considered a fine gift and was even a common edible used for offerings to the gods. Because of its value, cinnamon was a well-kept secret and it was not until the 1600’s that the monopoly on this valuable spice was disbanded, allowing cinnamon to flow through the world more freely and at a much more affordable price.
