Cinnamon – a common flavoring spice for toast, cookies and candies – is derived from the bark of a tree. But outside of its use as a spice, Adams said people could also use it to make fragrant cinnamon tea.
He then cited a verse from the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament, which reads: "I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon" (Proverbs 7:17). The use of cinnamon to perfume beds stems from its antibacterial property and ability to keep away bed bugs.
A passage from the Book of Exodus, meanwhile, shows cinnamon being more than a spice, as it was used to prepare incense and holy anointing oil for religious rites. God ordered Moses to use cinnamon as an ingredient in the holy oil, which would be used to anoint both the sacred vessels, the altar of offerings and the high priests.
Cinnamon is also used in several oil blends, with the Bible nutrition educator recalling that cinnamon oil was one of the oils he used for the First Aid Colloidal Silver Gel he formulated years ago. The first aid gel contains seven essential oils.
"I think most of those are biblical oils," he said. "These oils in combination are known to kill superbugs and all kinds of bacterial infections on the surface of [the] skin."
Dr. James Duke also mentioned the possible benefits of cinnamon in his book "Herbs of the Bible," which Adams used as reference. These benefits include treatment for bronchitis, Candida infections, diabetes, dyspepsia, fever, heartburn, herpes, painful menstruation, rheumatism and tuberculosis.
The Bible nutrition educator said cinnamon has been used medicinally for thousands of years. The ancient Chinese have been using it as early as 2800 B.C. – with Traditional Chinese Medicine using it as an ingredient in anti-influenza formulas and more. Western herbology, on the other hand, deems cinnamon as an antibacterial herb that can moderate blood sugar.

The Egyptians also used cinnamon in ancient embalming mixtures due to its antibacterial and antifungal effects. Centuries later, St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) recommended cinnamon as the universal spice for sinuses and a treatment for colds, flu, cancer and so-called inner decay and slime. Modern science appears to attest to the saint's findings about cinnamon – namely, its ability to prevent infection, treat indigestion and address other body ailments.
Adams remarked that cinnamon was valued in biblical times due to its health-supporting properties, calling it one of God's amazing miracles of medicine in Mother Nature. This spice is God's molecule, a powerful natural medicine accessible to everyone. He ultimately concluded that everything God created on Earth, including cinnamon, is a form of medicine in the natural world that stems from His desire to make medicine abundant.
