As we welcome the Lunar New Year, traditions and rituals that attract prosperity, health, and happiness take center stage. One lesser-known but increasingly popular symbol of abundance is cinnamon, a fragrant spice not only cherished for its culinary uses but also for its auspicious symbolism and holistic health benefits.
During Lunar New Year, cinnamon sticks are sometimes tied with red ribbons and placed near entranceways or on altars as a symbolic gesture to invite wealth and good fortune. The bold fragrance is thought to create an atmosphere of abundance and positivity, perfect for starting the year on a high note.
Boosts Circulation: Cinnamon naturally improves blood flow, which can help relieve tension and boost overall energy levels.

Stress Relief: The warm, comforting aroma of cinnamon has calming effects on the mind, promoting relaxation.
