Hmmm... The cinnamon thing is interesting... It makes me want to experiment with my coconut cream treatment. (I'm just about to go mix it up and apply it to my hair) But I don't want to have too many things going on in it. I think what I find most interesting is that on the POV table, the Tumeric, Cardamom, Black Pepper and Nutmeg are all even higher than Cinnamon (at least in ground spice form) I think I may have to start experimenting, just not today.

It is fascinating, isn't it?
Turmeric is not supposed to be eaten in great quantity, either is cinnamon - so I would no add a lot to a recipe - I doubt, according to that thread that it would be necessary.
I have also seen cinnamon listed as a skin irritant in places on the net (both cassia and cinnamon oils are mentioned as skin senitising in the book (linked below) - so I recommend patch testing first - eating a small amount of a spice is one thing - wearing it for a few hours is another matter entirely.
Scroll down to "Cassia - in industry" re the oils
