I
bought an electric aroma burner a month ago, the salesperson stated that it has
around 60 to 80 degree Celsius. However, I feel quite disappointed with it. The oil
with water didn’t get boil and it took over 36 hours to evaporate. 36 hours is
too long time to have an aromatherapy
treatment, and in the deepest of my heart want to say “the oil with water
disappear, because of low humidity ……”. I could smell the cinnamon
scent hardly during the time I turned on the electric aroma burner. After
36 hours, when I clean up the burner, so much oil still remains on it, which is
very different from the burning way of a candle burner.
I
used to use a candle burner for my aromatherapy. And
the effect of candle is quite good, the aroma can be diffused into the air
nicely. The water mixed with water only get around 4 hours to evaporate. And the
scent stays in the air in a good way. When I clean the candle burner, I won’t
see some much oil remains on the plate.
I recommend people to use candle burner rather than
the electric
one, or u have to check the temperature of the electric burner
clearly and make sure it have over 80 degree Celsius top let the oil burn in a good way.

The
health benefits of cinnamon include the following:
Brain Function: Cinnamon boosts the activity
of the brain and makes it a good brain tonic. It helps to remove nervous tension
and memory loss. Research at the Wheeling Jesuit University in the United
States has proved that the scent of cinnamon has the ability to boost brain
activity. The team of researchers, led by Dr. P. Zoladz, found that people who
were given cinnamon improved their scores on cognitive activities such as
attention span, virtual recognition memory, working memory, and visual-motor
response speed.
Blood purification: Cinnamon can also help to
remove blood impurities. This also makes it a great treatment for pimples.
Blood circulation: Cinnamon helps to improve the
circulation of blood due to the presence of a blood thinning compound within
cinnamon. This blood circulation helps to significantly reduce pain. Good blood
circulation also ensures oxygen supply to the body’s cells, which leads to
higher metabolic activity. You can significantly reduce the chance of suffering
from a heart attack by regularly consuming cinnamon.
Pain Relief: Cinnamon is also an anti-inflammatory substance, so it helps in
removing stiffness of the muscles and joints. Cinnamon is also recommended for
arthritis, and it is known to help in removing headaches that are caused by colds.
Diabetes: Cinnamon has the ability to control blood sugar, so diabetics
find it very useful because cinnamon aids them in using less insulin. Research has
shown that it is particularly helpful for patients suffering from type 2
diabetes. Type 2 diabetes patients are not able to regulate their insulin
levels properly. Researchers at the US Department of Agriculture’s Human
Nutrition Research Center in Beltsville, Maryland studied the effect of various
food substances that include cinnamon on blood sugar levels. They found that a
water-soluble polyphenol compound called MHCP, which is abundant in cinnamon,
synergistically acted with insulin and helped in the better utilization of that
vital component of human health.
Infections: Due to its antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral and antiseptic
properties, it is effective on treating external as well as internal
infections. It helps in destroying germs in the gall bladder and the bacteria
present in staph infections.
Healing: Cinnamon acts as a coagulant and helps to stop excess bleeding.
Therefore, it facilitates the healing process.
Heart diseases: It is believed that the
calcium and fiber present in cinnamon provide protection against heart
diseases. By including a little cinnamon in your food, you can help prevent
coronary artery disease and high blood pressure.
Colon cancer: It can also improves the health of the colon and thereby reduce
the risk of colon cancer.
Mouth freshener: Cinnamon is often used in
chewing gums, as it is a good mouth freshener and removes bad breath.
Perfumes: It has a refreshing aroma and is extensively used in
perfume-making.
Indigestion: Cinnamon is added in many ethnic recipes. Apart from adding
flavor to the food, it also aids in digestion. Cinnamon is very effective for
indigestion, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, diarrhea and flatulence. Due to
its carminative properties, it is very helpful in eliminating excess gas from
the stomach and intestines. It also removes acidity, combats diarrhea and
reduces the effects of morning sickness. Cinnamon is therefore often referred
to as a digestive tonic.
Respiratory problems: Cinnamon helps in relieving
the symptoms of colds, influenza, sore throat and congestion.
Menstruation: Cinnamon is effective in providing relief from menstrual
discomfort and cramping.
Birth control: Cinnamon also helps in natural birth control. Regular
consumption of cinnamon after child birth delays menstruation and thus helps to
avoid conception.
Breastfeeding: It is also believed that cinnamon aids in the secretion of
healthy breast milk.
Cinnamon is
diuretic in nature and helps in the secretion and discharge of urine. It is
also commonly used as an aphrodisiac and is believed to arouse sexual desire in
men and women.
