\"\"\"\"This brain booster necklace post is a twofer. Not only can your memory and recall get better but you get an awesome necklace!\u00a0 Cinnamon is an amazing<\/em> herb. In fact, we did a post on the health benefits of cinnamon<\/a> a while back. One of the things that many studies have found are that just the smell can be a brain booster and memory enhancer. So what better time to use it than when doing homework or studying! Obviously you can just grab some cinnamon oil\u00a0 and dab it on but that’s kinda boring. So we thought it would be more fun to make a clay charm. This can be turned into a bracelet or necklace of course for gals or guys. After you make it, cinnamon oil is dropped onto the clay which holds the odor for quite some time, depending on the oil or clay used.\u00a0 This is repeated as needed. You can shape the clay however you like.<\/p>\n

Terra Cotta Clay<\/strong> is typically used for this type of diffuser. However it requires a kiln to fire. The reason it makes a great diffuser is that not only is it natural, it dries very porous so the oils seep in well.\u00a0 You’ll find many clays with the title Terra Cotta on them. However, they are using the name for the color NOT the type of clay. Amazon has many of them like that. So don’t buy one thinking you’re getting real Terra Cotta Clay.\u00a0 The fact is, regular air dry clay or polymer oven baked\u00a0 works and gives you color options. It just won’t hold the smell as long, though there are things you can do, which we’ll mention, that will help.<\/p>\n

I used polymer for the color and because it bakes quickly. Air dry can take 2 or 3 days to dry.<\/p>\n
