HELP FOR Buffalo, NY MIGRAINE
The anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties of cinnamon were put to the
test for migraine management. Migraine, the most common primary headache
type, has increased levels of inflammation. Compared to a control treatment,
cinnamon significantly decreased levels of inflammatory agents,
interleukin-6 and nitric oxide. Cinnamon also decreased
the frequency, severity and duration of migraine attacks.
Cinnamon eased migraine in this study! Additionally,
cinnamon is a safe supplement. (1) The Novelli Wellness Center happily shares
research-based safe alternatives to try for health.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is a familiar health condition
for many Buffalo, NY folks. Supplementing with cinnamon favorably and significantly affected
diastolic blood pressure and when taken for more than 8 weeks significantly
affected systolic blood pressure. (2) Several studies
have reported that cinnamon reduced blood pressure. A recent
meta-analysis of 9 randomized clinical trials reported that cinnamon
supplementation can improve blood pressure by a modest degree
overall. Significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure reduced
when using 2 grams or more a day of cinnamon for at least 8
weeks. (3) That is news worth giving to our
Buffalo, NY chiropractic patients.
DIABETES TYPE II
The Novelli Wellness Center takes care of many patients
who also have diabetes type II. Diabetes
mellitus is a disease involving many
different issues associated with insulin resistance or low
production of it by the pancreas. This all gives rise to lifelong damage to organs over a lifetime.
Management is complex. Herbs are frequently included in the
management. Cinnamon is mentioned as a positive choice for diabetic hypertensive patients. (4) A
survey of the use of complementary alternative medicine by diabetic patients found
that many use bitter apple, ginger, fenugreek, garlic and cinnamon. 66.1% used
cinnamon. (5) The Novelli Wellness Center requests to know what our
chiropractic patients are taking and if they find benefit.
