Cinnamon is a spice widely used in cooking, but not only. Here we give you a use that will surprise you and you will not be able to do without it again.

In addition to being very aromatic, cinnamon has a pungent and characteristic flavor that is impossible not to recognize.

Cinnamon, what are its properties?

Cinnamon has been used as a natural medicine since the Egyptians and later by the Romans. The properties and benefits of this spice are well known today. Indeed, cinnamon is able to stimulate blood circulation and fight bad cholesterol. That is why it acts as a natural antioxidant and protects cardiovascular circulation.

Cinnamon is also used as an antibacterial, antiseptic, and stimulant, as well as digestive. Type 2 diabetics can use cinnamon for the same function as insulin, as it contains a special polyphenol. In addition, it can be used to combat cyclical pain.

However, not everyone knows that cinnamon can also be useful for fighting insects on plants and elsewhere. As far as plants are concerned, cinnamon is said to be able to fight plant aphids (lice and other pests). It can be sprinkled directly on the ground as a powder or inserted into the soil in the form of twigs. Another way is to prepare a decoction that, once cold, should be sprayed directly on the aphid-affected plant. Ceylon cinnamon oil is also very useful. A few drops of this oil, diluted in water, can be used to wash plants affected by pests.

Let’s see below how to use cinnamon along with vinegar to fight flies.

What if we put it in white vinegar?

To learn this trick, you’ll need two or three cinnamon sticks and about a quart of white wine vinegar. The latter is widely used for cleaning due to its multiple properties. The first thing to do is to pour the white wine vinegar into a spray bottle. Dip two or three cinnamon sticks into the vinegar. Close the container with the sprayer bottle and shake it well.

The mixture can be used immediately. What is it for? To keep flies away from your kitchen. It is enough to sprinkle a little directly on the flying insect, which, when hit by the substance, will immediately fall to the ground.

With this solution, if any flying insects, such as flies, mosquitoes, etc., enter your kitchen, you will be able to annihilate them immediately, without resorting to expensive and dangerous chemicals. The latter, in fact, require ventilated rooms for their use and, in any case, cannot be used where food is prepared.

To recap, then, the cinnamon dipped in vi.
