Cinnamon Milk for Treating Insomnia
We all need a good night sleep. If we don’t sleep well, we might increase the chance of heart problems. Therefore, by consuming cinnamon milk, we might be able to treat insomnia and be able to sleep once again.
But, how do you make this remedy? It is very easy and fast. You will only need one cinnamon stick and a cup of milk. If you were wondering whether you can use cinnamon powder as well, the answer would be yes.
However, the powder dissolves harder, and it is not comfortable for the throat. To make it, start warming up the milk just before it begins to boil. Next put the milk in a cup with the cinnamon and cover it with a plate to allow it to steep for 10 minutes.
After the time is over, your remedy is ready. If you don’t like the taste, feel free to add some honey. Drink this before bed, or throughout the day, and enjoy your calm nights.
