Cinnamon is the dried inner bark of the evergreen Cassia
cinnamon plant. It is often used as a spice in foods. However, herbalists have
used cinnamon to treat infections because it contains volatile oils, such as
eugenol and trans-cinnamic acid, which have anti-fungal, anti-viral and
antioxidant properties. Cinnamon might also increase circulation of the scalp.
According to Victoria Epperly, author of "Daniel's Lifestyle Fasting Cook Book,"
you can apply a paste made from cinnamon to the scalp to relieve hair loss and
increase hair growth. Always talk to your doctor before using any alternative
treatment.
Step 1
Pour 1/2 cup of olive oil into a small saucepan and put on
the stove. Warm the oil to a lukewarm temperature and take off the
stove.

of honey to the oil. Stir the mixture well with a spoon.

Apply the mixture to the scalp with a brush applicator.
Part your hair with a comb to reveal the scalp and apply a liberal amount of the
cinnamon paste with the applicator brush. Work around your scalp from back to
front.
Step 4
Leave the paste on the scalp for at least 15 minutes.
Shampoo your hair and condition it as usual. Apply the paste once each week as a
hair treatment to promote hair growth and stop hair
loss.
