the mishmash of clothing that geralt’s company wear during their journey is delightfully piecemeal. it’s like half-brokilonian, half-stolen from banditry, half-clothes which actually belong to them. ik i made this post as a joke but i actually really love the outfits of the company

geralt and dandelion are dressed in hooden grey elven mantels. later in chapter 4, they’ve exchanged them for homespun cloaks stolen from the guards, which they used to escape the camp. from though he still has his recognizable headband and medallion, geralt is seemingly almost incognito as he wears a leafy-patterned elven jerkin from the dryads. (and for even more brokilon influence, before zoltan gives him the dwarven sihill, he has a sword from col serrai).

speaking of dwarven fashions, dandelion receives a quilted jacket and a ‘swashbuckling’ marten-fur kalpak from zoltan and his company. he replaced his plum hat with the heron’s feather with this marten kalpak, so he as well is almost incognito. as far as accessories go, he has a brass-studded belt and the cruel-looking knife from the dwarves, too; although he immediately lost the knife. after the events of chapter 4 and in the middle of 5, his head is wounded and bandaged.

zoltan tells milva that she “looks too much like a squirrel” to approach humans alone — which is probably a result of her dress and her bow, of course. asides from her mahogany bow with whalebone risers, measuring 5 foot with a 24 inch draw length, shooting grey-fletched arrows… and one silver arrow… she’s likely dressed in some brokilonian or elven garb, owing to her work as an agent for brokilon. but she also wears “human” clothing, a blouse and woolen leggings. her belt is described, with a pouch and a hunting knife with a bone handle hanging off of it (and in the next book, she gives this knife to angoulême as a gift). perhaps most curiously, milva’s not mentioned to be wearing her iconic braid or plait during this book, rather her long hair is described as falling into geralt’s face when she leans over him in tense conversation in chapter 1, tossing her hair with a sudden movement when offended in chapter 5…

cahir is almost unrecognizable as nothing he wears betrays him as nilfgaardian, instead he’s dressed in a hauberk, leather tunic and cloak from the men who were transporting him. but this hauberk becomes ever-so iconic in its own right as it plays such a role in the fish soup… as a strainer.

regis, of course, dresses modestly and is perhaps the only one of the company dressed in his own clothes not signalling affiliation to a larger faction or taken from some roving banditry. black robes, something like an apron tied around the waist. when they meet him, he has a linen bag, but when they leave, he’s exchanged it for a leather one. and also, a walking stick, which is never mentioned again by the writing... he also has his nigh-iconic black, woolen cloak-cape, which he wraps himself up in…

and the horses! do not forget the horses. geralt’s elven roach, a bay mare who rides as if bitted by horseflies. the lazy and docile bay gelding pegasus, of course, remains dandelion’s steed. cahir rides on a chestnut colt, which he loses but later recovers. milva’s black horse, which she tells geralt not to touch in chapter 1, which also becomes the subject of debate in chapter 4. regis rides on a nilfgaardian bay near the end of the novel, by which point they’ve also obtained a riderless grey horse which carries their modest belongings.

these small little details are all just described so wonderfully across the course of the book, the picture is painted for you eventually, over time, your attention is rewarded with an intricate picture at the end…

that post about tes linguistics made me remember a tiny detail in witcher that i'm obsessed with for no good reason

according to canon, there was a different writing system on the Continent than whatever is being used by the time of the books - in Sword of Destiny, Eithné asks Geralt "Can you read old runes?" and she mentions 'old kings no one remembers the names of' as well, because the piece she wants Geralt to read comes from the Craag An cemetery.

And we don't have any idea how these runes might look like, because that sentence Geralt indeed could read, despite being one of the most recognizeable lines from the entire series, is etched onto a goblet from which he and Ciri drink the Water of Brokilon, and literally no one bothered to adapt this with the correct water container.

If cdpr's "current" alphabet is basically glagolitic, it really does make you wonder what the "old runes" might've been like, but because the Water of Brokilon in gwent is gathered into a lameass bowl in its card art, there's not much to go off, apart from maybe the little bits on graves in blood&wine since there are some not in glagolitic. there are only like two or three sets of these characters. but it's something!

i should go and research european writing systems from before the ole slavic esperanto for some inspiration (because i refuse to just slap elder futhark or smth on it and call it a day) but i'm also the half-assed post person so this is what i got for now, yelling about how no one drew a goblet.

#also like. how old is fen carn exactly. is it older than craag an. what script are the tombstones in regis's original front yard in.#also obviously elves dwarves etc might be/are using their own scripts and then there's everything gharasham #p sure nilf uses glagolitic too in the games?#VRAN I WANNA SEE VRAN WRITING but fuck me i never got to act 3 in ass of kings game #if there even are crumbs of this in loc muinne lol. maybe in the lab #shut up elis #the witcher

For anyone curious, this is what Dandelion's writing has to say about Regis in the Blood and Wine expansion of TW3:

Firstly, when penning the quest that has Geralt running into Regis again for the first time in years, Dandy writes this

Here I must explain that, years ago, Regis had joined Geralt's band of fellow travelers (of which I was a proud part) and set off with us in search of Ciri. Together we lived through many fascinating adventures and Regis proved himself a loyal friend, the kind you can trust with your life.

And then, on a bookshelf inside the crypt where you run into Regis, you can find a book titled "Biography of the Vampire Regis, From the Quill of Dandelion." Of course, like all large tomes in games, you don't get to read the whole thing but you do get a nice few passages of Dandelion talking about who Regis was and the friendship they shared

One of the most extraordinary individuals I have encountered during my numerous adventures at Geralt's side was the vampire known as Regis. To be precise, he was known as Emiel Regis Rohellec Terzieff-Godefroy. By his own reckoning, he was 428 years old and was the descendant of unfortunate beings trapped in our world during the Conjunction of Spheres. You are surely thinking, Dear Reader, about katakans, alps and other such monsters and are pondering how it was that the witcher – who, it must be admitted, is a slayer of monsters – came to keep such company. I must here explain that Regis was a higher vampire, a creature which physically does not differ all that much from a man. Higher vampires are also much more powerful than their wild confreres, and their regenerative abilities significantly outpace those of anything else you have encountered or can even imagine. But it is not because of his outer appearances or inner strengths that Regis became our dear companion. True, he could be pretentious and rather pompous in his frequent length perorations, but one would be hard-pressed to find in him the haughtiness usually present in higher beings. Regis valued human life dearly and refused to kill unless forced to do so. As he once confessed, higher vampires do not in fact need to drink blood at all in order to survive. They treat it somewhat as we treat alcohol. A rough grasp of this dynamic might be given to you by the fact that, when we met him, Regis had been abstinent for years. He never revealed to us why he decided to join our search for Ciri. He had never met her before. Nor did he live to see her. He died at Stygg Castle, during the battle against the mad mage Vilgefortz, who was responsible for the whole affair. He died for a cause which he surely did not fully understand, but he did it to defend those he held dear and simply because it was the right thing to do. I shall always remember him as a rural surgeon reeking of herbs – that is how he came to us during our first encounter at the Fen Carn necropolis, when he treated me and my companions to a fantastic brew me made from mandrake root. Wherever you are, my friend, bottoms up!

Seb's Fic Masterpost (Witcher, Switchcraft, Original)

Witcher

Pairing: Geralt/Regis

Multi-Chapter

To Pluck Wild Mountain Thyme - Ongoing, Explicit, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Fluff & Smut, 100k+

Regis has left to find and help Dettlaff after the Night of Long Fangs, and Geralt has gone into semi-retirement at Corvo Bianco. But despite the new peace, the Witcher finds something is missing. Only when Regis unexpectedly returns one day does Geralt realise there is much they have yet to discover about each other and what connects them. After all, a love story does not end when those famous three words are said – it only just begins.

Through All My Years With You - General Audiences, Fluff, Ficlet Collection, Completed, 1.2k

Both vampires and witchers - circumstances permitting - live extraordinarily long lives. What good fortune, then, that Geralt and Regis have found each other and decided to spend those lives with each other.

One-Shots

Woe - Mature, Major Character Death, Angst, <1k

Regis knows the Lullaby of Woe by heart, but when Geralt, his lover of over a century, dies during a contract, its words gain a devastating new meaning.

Sharp and Pointy - General Audiences, Domestic Fluff, <1k

Another morning at Corvo Bianco, but today it involves belly skritches and pointy teeth.

Under the Summer Sky - General Audiences, Fluff, <1k

When one is semi-retired at Corvo Bianco, there are many opportunities to carve out a few minutes to spend with a loved one. Just such a moment happens on a sunny summer day, when Regis finds Geralt picking herbs in the garden behind the estate and can't help but join him.

To Put You At Ease - Teen and Up, Fluff, Wound Care, <1k

One benefit of semi-retirement at Corvo Bianco is that Regis is always right there to take care of any injuries Geralt sustains during contracts. His hands are much steadier experienced at mending wounds than Geralt's own, and his treatments are gentle. They always manage to soften whatever trouble Geralt picks up on the Path.

Finally Ever After - General Audiences, Book Fic, 1.7k

With the slaying of the last idr, the season of storms finally comes to an end for the Witcher. The silent listener is glad, hidden in the woods for none to know but his love. Though before a season of peace can begin, there is the girl, a soon-to-be sorceress fascinated by the Witcher's legend, who is convinced she knows him. As Regis listens, he begins to reminisce, and when Geralt returns to him and tells him of her, he smiles.

Five Years of This - General Audiences, Fluff, Based on Fanart, <1k

Sometimes, simply hugging Regis is not enough, and in those cases, Geralt just has to pick him up. Particularly on special occasions.

Weather the Storm - Explicit, Smut, Established Relationship, 5.2k

When no inn seems to have a vacant room during a thunderstorm, Geralt and Regis seek shelter in a nearby brothel. Though they are reluctantly given a room for the night, sleep slips farther from their minds as more and more noises seep in through the walls, spurring Geralt's imagination.

A Day So Sweet - General Audiences, Fluff, <1k

To Geralt, a day is merely a day, but to everyone around him, this one is quite special. And Regis intends to make it enjoyable.

Not So Silent Graves - Teen and Up, Humour & Satire, 1.9k

Geralt and Regis planned to visit Fen Carn to reminisce, and perhaps indulge in the ancient cemetery's atmosphere. Instead, they come across the curious character who has made Regis' dilapidated cottage their new home - and strange business venture.

Parody chapter 48 of Thyme - General Audiences, Ko-fi Exclusive Parody, tw transphobia, <1k

An out of character interaction between Geralt, Eskel and Regis, filled with memes, wacky dialogue and overall silliness. Written in response to transphobic comments left on chapter 47 of "To Pluck Wild Mountain Thyme" regarding my inclusion of trans Eskel. Non-canon in the Thyme universe and now only available to ko-fi supporters.

Humility and Sacrifice - General Audiences, Book Fic, First Kiss, <1k

Just hours ago, Geralt had realised the absurdity of feeling joy at the sight of a vampire. And now, as Regis walks him to the cave beneath Devil Mountain, Geralt realises another thing - that this vampire is far too fond of talking. Someone ought to shut him up.

Pairing: Geralt/Roche

Multi-Chapter

The Knife in His Coffin - Explicit, Graphic Depictions of Violence, TW2 Spoilers, Completed, 53k

In just a few weeks, Vernon Roche has lost nearly everything that was dear to him. He's lost his king, lost his men, and is about to lose his country, too. The only thing driving him now is a burning desire for revenge, and he will cross mountains to get it. With Ves left behind for safety, there is only Geralt by his side on the arduous journey to Loc Muinne - and they are about to realise that a lot can change in a week when it is filled with nothing but silence and each other's presence.

All of His Colours - Explicit, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Sequel to The Knife in His Coffin

Much has happened since Geralt and Roche parted from one another at an inn outside Loc Muinne. Nilfgaard has invaded the North a third time, and much like the second, Geralt finds himself searching for Ciri once more. While she occupies his thoughts greatly, there is another who haunts his mind – a man he remembers with a sense of longing and uncertainty. As he struggles with his mission, Geralt clings desperately to the hope that one day – be it in a year, five years, even ten – he and Vernon Roche will get the chance to tie up the loose ends surrounding them.

One-Man Force - Mature, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Roche POV, Completed, 7.2k

Vernon Roche is no stranger to abductions. Whether he himself orchestrates them, or ends up as a victim himself, he's experienced his fair share. But that's exactly why this one is so strange. Security seems lacking, and one by one, more oddities pile up. So when it presents itself, Vernon seizes the opportunity to get to the bottom of it all - and finds a letter from Geralt at the core.

One-Shots

To Become A Kingslayer - General Audiences, Missing Scene, TW2 Spoilers, <1k

Geralt came a long way to clear his name of the accusations of being a kingslayer, but what he didn’t know was that the one he undertook the journey with would eventually turn into that exact persona. When Vernon Roche killed King Henselt of Kaedwen, Geralt turned a blind eye. But when Vernon Roche was on the brink of being found out, Geralt made a choice to become the very thing he had gone so far to dispute.

The Mark of A Stripe - General Audiences, <1k

After his own escapade with the Blue Stripes in Flotsam, Geralt begins to wonder about the tattoos the entire unit is alleged to have. He's seen at least one on all of them - all except the commander. And when the opportunity presents itself, Geralt can't help but ask.

Hanged Man's Salvation - Teen and Up, Scene Fix-It, Mild TW2 Spoilers, 1k

Flotsam is cruel not only to its citizens, but also those passing through and visiting its borders. Geralt is quick to jump into a brawl when he sees two of his closest friends with a noose around their necks, but after an unexpected loss, he finds himself in much the same position. Vernon Roche and Triss Merigold are the only ones who can save him now - and the sorceress seems frozen with fear.

Second Time's the Charm - Teen and Up, Witcher 3 Spoilers, <1k

The day of Radovid's assassination has come. The king is easily lured to the bridge that leads to Temple Isle, and everything goes smoothly… until Radovid decides he'd rather dispose of Geralt. Fortunately, as once before, Vernon Roche comes to the Witcher's rescue just in the nick of time.

A Taste of Eternity - General Audiences, Fluff, <1k

To those who have spent their entire lives fighting, waking up in a warm bed with the one they love on a slow morning is a luxury - a luxury Geralt and Roche are granted today.

Life's Indulgence - General Audiences, Fluff, <1k

It's late at night, and while Geralt is soaking in the bath, an (un)expected visitor opens the door. Geralt convinces him to stay, and the two spend some relaxing time together.

Pairing: Ves/Ciri

From the Tree - Teen and Up, <1k

Late at night, after everyone else has either gone out or to sleep, Ves and Ciri sit by the fire, face to face. As they talk about the past and their relationships to the people in their lives, Ciri can't seem to take her eyes off Ves. There's something she's been wondering, and finally, she finds the courage to ask.

Emerald Green and Northern Blue - Teen and Up, based on tumblr posts, 1k

When Roche decided to drop everything to help Geralt in his fight against the Wild Hunt, Ves went with him to Kaer Morhen. After all, she would follow him into the pits of hell. But what she didn't expect was to find the woman they all fought for to be so fascinating.

The Cat in The Bag - General Audiences, Fluff & Humour, <1k

Ves has found a kitten, and Ciri has found her. Together, they need to decide what to do with it.

Starry Night Over Vizima - Mature, Mild Sexual Content, 6.5k

It's New Year's eve, and Ciri and Ves have somewhat unconventional plans. They've disguised themselves and decided to sneak into a masquerade ball in Vizima to spend a fun evening without getting recognised. Alcohol flows aplenty, and the party does not lack activities, so it's only a matter of time until the two of them get up to some mischief.

The Men that Wound Us - Mature, Hurt/Comfort, <1k

Both Ciri and Ves have experienced abuse at the hands of men throughout their lives, and they are both haunted by them. What begins as a sexual encounter turns into a violent flashback for Ves, but Ciri is there to comfort her through it.

Snowbound - General Audiences, Ko-fi Exclusive, Somewhat Unfinished, Prompt Fic, <1k

Ves is visiting Kaer Morhen for the winter. On a day out in the valley, the two settle for a while by the river and enjoy some quiet time alone.

Up On Orchard Hill - General Audiences, Fluff, <1k

It's a clear spring day, and Ciri and Ves are cuddled up among blooming plum trees overlooking Lake Vizima.

Grounding Motions - General Audiences, Fluff, Drabble

Sometimes, feeling each other's skin under their fingertips is soothing to Ciri and Ves, and sometimes that extends to all their scars - the things that are uniquely theirs.

The Intimacy of Being Vulnerable - General Audiences, Drabble

Enhancing each other's strengths in battle comes naturally once Ves and Ciri get to know each other, but it takes a special sort of bond to make known their weaknesses.

A Summer Day's Pleasures - Explicit, Smut, Established Relationship, 2.5k

On a hot summer day, Ves and Ciri decide to take a boat out onto Lake Vizima to have a swim and cool down. But secretly, Ciri has much more intimate plans in store for their quiet getaway.

An Oren for Her Thoughts - Teen and Up, <1k

When one spends their whole life on the run or travelling from one war camp to the next, home becomes a complicated, abstract concept, and trying to discern where that home lies becomes increasingly difficult.

Two Kisses for A Ride - General Audiences, <1k

While strolling through the outskirts of Vizima, Ciri gets tired of walking and decides to make that Ves' problem.

Miscellaneous Pairings

The Painted Year - Regis/Dettlaff, General Audiences, One-Shot, Light Romance, 3.6k

After his blood brother's life was spared at Tesham Mutna, Regis sets out to find him. His journey takes him all the way to Etolia, near Nilfgaard. There, the two settle down at an abandoned farm, where Regis hopes Dettlaff may heal. Eventually, he does, and it all begins with paint.

Somewhere in The Boudoirs of Novigrad - Geralt/Regis/Dandelion, Explicit, Smut, Based on Fanart 4.4k

A room is only ever as private as a host makes it - which, in Dandelion's case, means it is not private at all. Thus, Geralt and Regis find their intimate moments disturbed. How fortunate that they are willing to accommodate, and so and after being told to close the door, Dandelion finds himself on the much more pleasurable side of it.

No Pairing/Gen Fic

Multi-Chapter

Everything I Loved... - Explicit, Roche & Ves & The Blue Stripes, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Implied Rape/Non-Con, TW2 Spoilers, Completed, 34k

Vernon Roche had led the Blue Stripes for four years. Four long, all too short years. At the beginning of it all, he had recruited all of them and trained them, pulled them from the worst life had to give, and put a roof over their heads. He'd loved them dearly, and they had respected him in turn, treated him not merely as their commander, but as one of them. As a friend. He'd fought with them, bled with them, laughed with them, and even though only memories remained now, most of them were happy ones.

One-Shots

The Jester's Skull - Teen and Up, Geralt & Dandelion, One-Shot, Case Fic, 9k

Geralt merely intended to spend a few quiet weeks at the Chameleon to catch up with his friends. But when the century old skull of a famous jester is stolen from Dandelion, he and Geralt set out to retrieve it, following a mysterious stranger across the Northern Realms, and even further.

Northern Bones - Explicit, Roche & Ves, Whump, 1.6k

Every man was destined to die. Every man, every women, every person was destined to die. It was only a matter of when and where. Vernon Roche had never had any delusions about the when. He was a soldier, and he knew he would die as one sooner rather than later. But he had always hoped that the where would be kinder to him. Somewhere within the borders of Temeria, on familiar soil. But Vernon Roche was destined to die many miles from home, on the Dol Blathanna - Mount Carbon line. And the when was now.

Switchcraft

Pairing: Arash Shirazi/Reader

Emergency Use Only - Teen and Up, Adult Reader Insert, Spoilers up to Book 1 Chapter 14, <1k

Professor Shirazi didn't have the best day after an illegal potion stash was discovered at the Academy and Bailey Ward was attacked by a fellow student, but perhaps a special someone waiting at home can distract him a bit.

No Pairing/Gen Fic

Concern of Not - General Audiences, Bailey & Shirazi, Missing Scene Spoilers up to Book 3 Chapter 12, <1k

In light of the information of her mother's murder, there are many answers Bailey expects from Shirazi. But first, she has some questions surrounding the illusion trap he set for her at the lighthouse.

Death Stalked - Teen and Up, Drug Use Aftermath, Spoilers up to Book 3 Chapter 19, <1k

On her way back from the Death Stalkers' hideout, Bailey struggles with not only the lunar dust in her system, but also the traumatic situations she's gone through over the past few days and weeks. There's been one death, plummeting cold, a second, over in a flash and a spark, and now, perhaps… a third?

If we get Zoltan, Percival and Regis in S4E1, does that mean we'll have Fen Carn and THE MOONSHINE almost right at the start of the new season? The actors seem to have a lot of fun with the script!

Maybe the episode will end with the Nilfgaardian attack on the refugee camp and Geralt being knocked out as a cliffhanger? And E2 will have Cahir rescue Milva and join the hansa without the ⚰️ and confrontation because Geralt has seen that he's not such a bad guy on Thanedd, plus Jaskier might go: "Hey, that's Yennefer's shaggy-beard friend from Oxenfurt, remember, Geralt, I told you about him, the one she had a bath with?" 😂

i know everyone here myself included is a big nerd so, like percival schuttenbach, so we do not find a problem with this but instead find it cool, but

you ever think about how in the interior of regis’ hut by fen carn, his room was literally just: a bed. a small table littered with vials and flasks. a pot-bellied stove. and an extensive, complex, highly developed distillery system. and the only food he had on hand was a basket of horseradish.

now, this sounds great, because distillery is a cool hobby, but i don’t think any of us are putting this into perspective

imagine it like this:

meet a guy, middle aged, maybe 50s. lives alone in the middle of nowhere. okay. goes to his place to spend the night.

go inside his room. no furniture in the entire room except a bed and a small bedside table with a bunch of mismatched dirty cups, some randomly half-full. and taking up half the room is an excessively pro gaming setup, monitors, chair, the works, all in all costing about $50K, lighting up the entire room with enough RGB lighting to send you to heaven. oh and there’s a radiator heater in the corner.

haha ok man. would you happen to have any food i’m kind of hungry. “yep” opens fridge. nothing in there except a bag of parsnips and a half-empty bottle of sparkling water. okay man

#you know like i joked that ‘geralt didnt realize regis was a vampire because he thought he was just autistic’#but holy shit. actually? actually i think that’s an incredibly fair assessment considering regis’ actual life and behavior #I GET IT WAS HIS ‘SUMMER ABODE’#its quaint its quaint its humble its humble #listen he just got sober ‘like the blink of an eye’ ago you cant blame him hes doin alright #emiel regis #the witcher books #the elbow-high diaries #c: regis

for ask game: elves become mandrake after death

they WHAT

ok ok. is this because it most notably grows at Fen Carn, an elven cemetery? that's honestly kind of a cool theory. like we do have Feainnewedd, which apparently first grew where Lara died and reappears when elder blood is spilled.

Francesca (in Baptism? or just in Gwent minigame flavor text?) talks about ashes of war fertilizing soil... Mandrake has that person-shaped root and it's used by mages both to maintain a youthful appearance and to straight up extend one's lifespan. like elves have...

i don't think it's intentional but i'm starting to really like it. thanks for asking, genuinely never heard this one before!

La Canela y Sus beneficios para el Cuerpo

El olor de la canela forma parte de los recuerdos de infancia de muchas generaciones, unido siempre a las cocinas de las abuelas. Este aromático condimento de sabor dulce y amaderado se extrae del árbol del canelo o Cinnamomum, concretamente de su corteza, y se emplea canela en rama o en polvo como ingrediente de muchos postres, infusiones y batidos, además de en guisos de carnes.

Risa

La canela es originaria de Sri Lanka, gracioso, antigua y mítica Ceylán, cultivándose también en Birmania, Brasil, China. Antillas, Guayana, las Islas Seychelles y las Mauricio e Indonesia, existiendo más de 100 variedades del árbol del canelo

Que contiene la canela??

La canela tiene multitud de propiedades y beneficios.

Además, la canela también presenta altos porcentajes de cumarinas, taninos y mucílagos que le otorgan propiedades antiinflamatorias, antibacterianas, antivirales, antifúngicas, anestésicas, probióticas, antiespasmódicas y antioxidantes.

Seguramente se preguntaran cuales son realmente los beneficios que tiene la canela para la salud, pues la verdad son variados pero te dire los mas importantes:

Reduce los niveles de glucosa en sangre

El cinnamtannin o compuesto B1 presente en la canela favorece la reducción de los niveles de glucosa en sangre. Los especialistas señalan que el B1 consigue estimular los receptores de insulina, incrementando así la capacidad celular para asimilar la glucosa. Para ello se aconseja consumir un poco de canela en ayunas, puede ser en infusión, así como después de cada comida.

Ayuda a tener buenas digestiones

Los beneficios de la canela a nivel digestivo son muchos, siendo uno de ellos el hacer más sencillas las digestiones. La fibra, el hierro y el calcio de la canela se adhieren a las sales biliares, responsables de solubilizar los lípidos y vitaminas liposolubles ingeridos, para eliminarlas de forma eficaz. También ayuda a abrir el apetito.

Regula el ritmo intestinal

Además de poder emplearse como antidiarreico, también se utiliza para paliar los efectos del colon irritable.

Es un poderoso anti-edad

Los jabones naturales de canela son excelentes para el cuidado de las pieles maduras, siendo también ideales por su efecto anti acné y los problemas de hongos.

Puede emplearse como relajante muscular

Ya que es una importante fuente de calcio ideal para mantener los huesos fuertes.

Favorece la pérdida de peso

La canela tiene efectos termogénicos y metabólicos, aumenta el gasto energético y la oxidación de la grasa, por lo que tiene efecto protector en la obesidad, favoreciendo la pérdida de peso. Los mecanismos por los que se produce parece estar relacionado con la activación de proteínas que actúan en la movilización del tejido adiposo para ser utilizada por el cuerpo para producir energía.

Además, al mejorar la sensibilidad de los tejidos a la acción de la insulina, reduce la acumulación de grasa en el organismo. Asimismo, esta especia es rica en fibras, que ayudan a aumentar la sensación de saciedad, disminuyendo así el hambre y favoreciendo el proceso de pérdida de peso

Protege la salud del corazón

Los componentes activos de la canela, cinamaldehído y ácido cinámico, son cardioprotectores debido a su propiedad antiinflamatoria y a su capacidad de producir óxido nítrico, un compuesto que hace que las arterías se relajen y la sangre fluya más fácilmente. Además, también ayudan a inhibir los canales de calcio, que en conjunto con el óxido nítrico, contribuyen para mantener la presión arterial baja.

Mejora el funcionamiento sexual

Algunos estudios científicos apoyan que la canela tiene efectos afrodisíacos, gracias a sus propiedades vasoactivas, vasculogénicas y antioxidantes, que activan la circulación sanguínea. Asimismo, también indican que esta especia, cuando es consumida por el hombre, puede ayudar en el tratamiento de la disfunción eréctil y de la impotencia sexual.
