Can Cinnamon Be Toxic For Toddlers?

I put a few sprinkles of cinnamon on my toddlers oatmeal and was told that any more than 1/4 teaspoon is toxic for anyone, especially babies. I have not seen this anywhere and have only heard the benefits of cinnamon touted. Can you please comment on this?

I wouldn't worry about sprinkling cinnamon on your toddler's oatmeal. Overall, the amounts of cinnamon used in cooking and as flavoring are very safe and good to include in the diet. Just to be sure, I checked with Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., director of education at the Program in Integrative Medicine and an authority on herbal medicine. Read more...

Commercial Yogurt: Dead or Alive?

Q: Commercial Yogurt: Dead or Alive?
Do all brands of yogurt have the necessary cultures that are good for you?

A: Most yogurts on supermarket shelves probably don't have the beneficial "live" or "active" cultures typically found in yogurt in countries such as Greece, Israel, Lebanon, or India. In fact, much of the custard-textured products sold in this country bear little resemblance to traditional yogurt containing live cultures, which I much prefer. Traditional is healthier, because it doesn't contain the sugars found in flavored yogurts, and because the live cultures help maintain "friendly" bacteria in the digestive system. Read more...

Ayurvedic Medicine

Ayurvedic medicine (also called Ayurveda) is one of the world's oldest medical systems. It originated in India and has evolved there over thousands of years. In the United States, Ayurveda is considered complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) — more specifically, a CAM whole medical system. Many therapies used in Ayurveda are also used on their own as CAM — for example, herbs, massage, and yoga.

Key Points
The aim of Ayurveda is to integrate and balance the body, mind, and spirit. This is believed to help prevent illness and promote wellness.
In Ayurvedic philosophy, people, their health, and the universe are all thought to be related. It is believed that health problems can result when these relationships are out of balance.
In Ayurveda, herbs, metals, massage, and other products and techniques are used with the intent of cleansing the body and restoring balance. Some of these products may be harmful when used on their own or when used with conventional medicines.
Before you seek care from an Ayurvedic practitioner, ask about the practitioner's training and experience.
Tell your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.
