In the past Flints were used to protect one against the magic of elves and faeries, and small pieces of Flint were placed in the house to protect it against lightning because this stone was/is sacred to the God Thor (or Donar). The healing powers of the Flint concentrate on the hormones, the kidneys and the nerves. It protects its wearer against inflammations and infections of the kidneys and the urinary tract. Also all endocrine glands that produce the hormones are strengthened by wearing this stone. Depressions are diminished and it helps its wearer through extremely stressed situations. Flint also relieves shyness.
CINNAMON (Dalchini) Description The cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) is an evergreen perennial tree, which grows upto a height of about six to eight m. The leaves of the plant are large, 10 to 20 cm. in length and 6to 10 cm. in width. They are egg-shaped, thick, leathery, pointed at tip and shining green and lighter coloured beneath. The flowers are minute, in large hairy clusters. Fruits are oblong or eggshaped, about 1.5 to 2 cm. long and dark purple, with one seed. The bark of the tree is thick, smooth and brownish dark in colour. The inner bark is obtained from carefully selected shoots. It is then cured and dried. During drying, the brak shrinks and curls into a cylinder or “quill”. They have a pleasing fragrant odour and a warm, sweet and aromatic taste. The shoots of the two year old cinnamon tree are cut and the bark is peeled after the branches are exposed to air for about twenty for hours. Then the bark is packed inside one another and dried.
