Studies have backed the many benefits of this fragrant spice; according to research, cinnamon extracts were also deemed effective for inhibiting the multiplication of cancer cells – head and neck cancer – and reducing tumour size too.

The same compound was also deemed effective for the decreased pace of the rate at which colon cancer cells multiplied in the body.
  3. Sage: Sage spice or rishi masala has been proved to have a positive impact on brain function and memory thereby supporting Alzheimer’s disease management. Studies have proved that including sage extracts in the diet for a period of four months improves cognitive health and helps with better management of heart diseases as well. Additionally, sage spice is known to have the following benefits for health:
