A member asked:
Are cinnamon sticks antibacterial or antiseptic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cinnamon: This herb/spice has been claimed in the lay press to have wide antibacterial activities, and has traditionally been used in some societies to treat infection. Not aware that there is scientific controlled evidence to support these claims.
