Cinnamon features in many dishes and is a popular home remedy for inflammation, gastrointestinal issues, and urinary tract infections. Its three main compounds are cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl acetate, and cinnamyl alcohol, which give cinnamon its antibiotic abilities. Cinnamon essential oil was most effective against B. cereus, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea, but it also showed some effectiveness against bacteria like E. coli.
