This view makes the drudgery of household dishes go by sooooo much nicer 
I hope you take the time to clear your mind of all the aweful “truth” for 10 minutes and go to a place of the Higher Self, Relax , take deep breaths (in our hectic lives, we sometimes forget that!) And don’t ever forget to “live in the moment” because that is all we have….ENJOY

Cinnamon Essential Oil is distilled from both the bark and leaf of the cinnamon plant which comes from Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
The aroma of the cinnamon essential oil that has been distilled from the bark is similar to that of cassia (Chinese Cinnamon) and it is often combined with frankincense as well as other oriental woods. However, cinnamon essential oil can cause irritation to the skin and should be handled with care. This kind of essential oil is particularly good use in aromatherapy to warm and comfort the person being treated.
Whilst the aroma produced by the oil distilled from the cinnamon leaves is more reminiscent of the smell of cloves than cinnamon because of the large amount of eugenol in it. It is often best mixed with oriental fragrances and as previously mentioned it should be handled with care as it can cause irritation to the skin. Where the essential oil from the cinnamon bark is ideal for aromatherapy where a person wants to feel warm and comfortable that distilled from the leaf seems to refresh and vitalize a person.
The primary components of cinnamon are cinnamaldehyde, gum, tannin, mannitol, coumarins and the essential oils known as aldehydes, eugenol and pinene. As it is predominantly used as a carminative addition to herbal prescriptions.
Some recent studies have shown that if you consume as little as 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon each day you may be able to reduce blood sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels by as much as 20%. For those patients who suffer from Type II Diabetes and who are not taking insulin it is mildly carminative as well as a great way of treating nausea and flatulence that these people suffer from. Whilst it can be used on its own or as a combination therapy to treat diarrhea.
Chinese Herbalists suggest that people who are in the 70’s or 80’s and develop a cough which involves the spitting of whitish phlegm from their throats of a frequent basis should chew and swallow a small pinch of powdered cinnamon. This remedy also seems to help those people who suffer from cold hands and feet (especially at night).
Not only is cinnamon great for helping with appetite loss and indigestion problems as well as dealing with flatulent dyspepsia, dyspepsia with nausea, intestinal colic as well as digestive atony which is associated with colds and other debilitating conditions. It can also help to relieve the effects of nausea and vomiting and because it is mildly astringent is particularly useful to use on infantile diarrhea.
Certainly the essential oil found is cinnamon is known to be a potent antibacterial, anti-fungal and uterine stimulant and there are certain terpenoids found in this oil which are believed to account for the medicinal effects cinnamon has.
Although test tube studies carried out show that cinnamon can augment the action of insulin no clinical trials have yet proved that cinnamon can improve the action of insulin in people who suffer from diabetes. There are more than 170 million around the world who suffer from diabetes and this number continues to rise. May be many of these could actually benefit from being able to take such an easily accessible product. There is evidence to show that this spice has the power to cut blood sugar levels nearly as much as statin drugs.
It is believed that a substance known as MHCP is the reason why cinnamon reignites the body’s fat cells to respond to insulin and this dramatically increases the removal of glucose.
There have also been a couple of studies carried out which reveal new evidence that act as an anti-inflammatory agent, along with being an anti-oxidant agent and ones that can lower cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose as well as improve the functioning of insulin in the body.
In fact it can not be denied that the power of cinnamon can not be denied in helping some diabetics or pre-diabetics.
However, it is important that you talk to your doctor prior to taking cinnamon in case it has any effects on the medications you are already taking.
Essential oils by themselves are very powerful and cinnamon essential oil should never be taken internally unless under the supervision of a qualified professional.

I have hyperacusis as a result of sensory issues (no autism or anything, just genetics), and I really want to be able to enjoy things like my boyfriend’s concerts, church services, movies in theaters, etc. As mentioned in another question, I have a massive neurological-based spasm/grimace (loss of muscle control) that occurs for just a few seconds when I’m around loud noise until I brace myself. This makes it hard for me to have much of a social life as a teenager.
I’m trying aroma therapy and pressure/massage therapy, but I’m seriously considering something like the Ease CD’s. Does anyone have any experience with any AIT things you can do at home? I’d really like opinions before I invest my limited funds into this.
Most of the ‘cures’ for being hypersensitive to loud noises are very expensive and will undo themselves if you’re exposed to loud sounds! Isn’t that the point of curing myself– to be around them? Anyone have any ideas?
Before anyone suggests it, I cannot wear earplugs– they make me dizzy and actually amplify the part of the sound that hurts me. I think it’s certain vibrations and pitches that cause the problem.
Also, I can listen to music very very loud on earphones (most of the time), so training myself to receive loud noises will not work as a therapy. It is not the loudness of the noise (though that is painful, I can deal with it)– it’s the spasming that comes with certain-pitched loud noises.
I’ve looked into Berard AIT but don’t have the money… and as I said, it doesn’t look like it will actually allow me to have a life even if I successfully complete it.
No hyperacusis gene to my knowledge. Others in my family have a lot of hypersensitivity to clothes, smells, etc., but I’m the only one with hyperacusis.
I do have SID, or at least some form of it, but insurance covers nothing because I’m ‘too old’. I eat almost completely organic– no food colorings, very few preservatives, very little white flour and simple sugars. I take acidophilus and cranberry extract Supplements, and I think 80% of my food is ‘fortified’ with Omega 3 fatty acid and/or olive oil.
If money were not a factor, I would say to try Berard, or Tomatis, because what I have heard and read indicate that they are helpful for many people! My son had lots of sensory issues (sounds-and, like you, it seemed to be certain tones and pitches, rather than volume-touch,smell, etc.), but he also had PDD-NOS, which is a form of autism. He improved as he got older. I think that some of the PT things (like "brushing", "putting hands in warm water, then cold water", etc.) helped, and I think that some of the dietary and nutritional things helped. [ I wonder if you would see any improvement if you eliminated food colorings and preservatives, had food allergy testing done, and added probiotics (such as acidophilus), and essential fatty acids (such as flaxseed oil, or fish oil) to your diet?]Google "Sensory Integration Disorder", and you may find some helpful info. The book "The Out of Sync Child at Play" has lots of games for younger kids with sensory issues. Good luck!

Hi. I’m taking a class and having a very hard time focusing.
Yesterday I used this essential oil mixture called Clarity. It contains, lemon, rosemary and jasmine absolute. Though it is not listed on the label I can smell eucalyptus and peppermint also.
It worked very well but….
I was up most of the night. I was very restless and unable to keep still for long. Lots of tossing and turning.
So much for concentrating today huh? 
My question is…
How long should the reaction to these oils last?
I used a mini humidifier and had it misting for most of the day and then again for about 3 hours in the evening, for a total of aprox. 10 hours.
Needless to say I’ll only use this product while I’m studying from now on. I’d like to know if this reaction was normal though.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
The length of effective time and reaction varies for everyone. You obviously have found an extremely effective blend for yourself. Although, you can’t be certain that your mental state or other unknown factor didn’t contribute to your lack of sleep. Personally, I like to place 1-2 drops in the crook of my elbow a few times per day. This puts it directly into your body instead of though out your room.You may have overdone it a bit.
In order to make aromatherapy, basic tools are needed. Learn about using bowls, essential oils, droppers, and rubber gloves for aromatherapy recipes in this free video from a professional aroma therapist.

the aromatherapy oils you are using were the right ones for study time – I would probably counter it by clearing the air and using lavender and chamomile in the evening. Your reaction was normal – you were exposed to the scent for too long it seems.
