Does anyone use cinnamon bark to interrupt quorum sensing?
Is the essential oil the same as cinnamon bark?

What is quorum sensing?

From my understanding it is the bacteria's (etc.) communication ability ......
which we want to disrupt.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Last time I was sick I took a dropper full of just generic cinnamon tincture every day alone with oregano oil...

Where did you come across that info? I'd be curious to read up on it. Quorum sensing is how they communicate within the biofilms, so it'd be pretty valuable if you can find something that disrupts this ability.

I have no idea where I came across any connection btw cinnamon and disrupting their communications. I really don't know but I must have stumbled across it somewhere on this site....

A quick internet search finds dozens of results. Companies make oil from cinnamon bark and cinnamon leaf, but if your oil doesn't specify then I would assume it's bark. I found articles about both leaf and bark with regard to quorum sensing. (As well as many other essential oils for combatting quorum sensing.)

Good luck, everyone. smile

Sorry for resurrecting a zombie thread, but I found this while trying to search for one of my old posts in the Ulcerative Colitis forum (searched quorum, assuming it'd be a term not oft used).

I use a product specifically for its bacterial quorum-disruption properties - it's called Live Leaf, and can be found on amazon (gut rescue - the red one, is the one you want). It works exactly as expected, and maintains my UC remissions.

So, hopefully this aids someone over here...?

Here's my post, if anyone wants to know more.

Quorum sensing is how they know when to replicate, when to hide, when to change forms, etc... like a herd of animals acting in unison

Also, The aromatic herbs (Cinnamon, oregano, turmeric) and some minerals interrupt quorum sensing. I think papaya supplements help with this and bio film, as well.
