Autism

In Autistic patients, the small intestine lining has become more permeable, also known as ‘leaky gut’ syndrome. This allows parasitic microorganisms and unsuitable biochemical constituents, often found in a modern diet, to cross the intestinal boundary and enter into the bloodstream causing sustained neuroinflammation in the brain. Cinnamon Pearls excels at strengthening the mucosal layer/ boundary in the small intestine allowing what’s beneficial to pass through and blocking harmful ingredients.

Over time the digestion, a.k.a. the Earth element, becomes deficient and prone to autoimmune reactions. Cinnamon Pearls helps to cool and contain potential over-reactions by a deficient and over-challenged Spleen (the yin organ of the Earth element). The formula also contains Shichangpu (Acorus) to protect and repair cognition.

Cinnamon Pearls makes use of seldom used and forgotten herbs — Wanggua or Snake Gourd and Jicai or Shepard’s Purse. Snake Gourd and Shepherd’s Purse have long been forgotten by Chinese herbalists, but were once common food items associated with the power of the 4th lunar month and balanced Spleen function. They prevent Earth from over controlling Water, known in the modern world as an autoimmune disorder. Earth is said to rule the sweet taste. In a sense, autistic patients are suffering from being ‘too sweet’.

These herbs exhibit the unique benefit of cooling an acutely overheated Spleen in autoimmune conditions while not damaging the patient’s overall yang deficient constitution. Cinnamon Pearls is especially suitable for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction found in autistic patients. With consistent use, along with other helpful endeavors, autism can gradually heal.
