Cinnamon isn’t a plant that grows here in Maine, but it is something that I use often. One, because I love the way it tastes and two, because it’s one of those common kitchen herbs that almost everyone has on hand, so I tend to use cinnamon as often as I can.

I also like to use it internally for pain and cramps and externally as an oil for joint and muscle pain relief.
