Licorice root should be used with caution by anyone with hypertension. Pregnant women and people on Coumadin should not use it. Just a precaution. We strive to provide safe information to our members and guests.

Cinnamon is a popular garnish atop many desserts. While many of us choose cinnamon in desserts for its unique taste, this choice also reflects the body's innate wisdom. Cinnamon regulates blood sugar and its stimulating pungency makes it perfect for heavy, sweet foods. Cinnamon also regulates metabolism of fats and sugars, helping with type II diabetes and insulin resistance.
