CINNAMON: SPICE OF FRIENDSHIP


The leaves you see above belong to the cinnamon plant (Kayu Manis).  The bark of the tree is used to make the cinnamon sticks that we use for cooking.  
In some Asian countries like India, it is believed that if one carries a bit of cinnamon when going on a journey, one will make friends quickly and easily.  Why?  This is because Cinnamon is known as the spice of friendship.  Also, having the cinnamon with you on your travels is one way of preventing negative energies to come ones way.
