Air freshening with essential oils
Have you ever felt that you wish that there was an alternative to using commercial air freshener, which always seems to smell the same?
The problem when using a commercial air freshener is the fact that your entire house seem to smell like a bathroom - which is far from desirable.
Well, you can easily and cost effectively freshen the air in any room, and choose from a variety of fragrances available. It is so easy to do, that you in afterthought would be puzzled why you have not done this before.
The core of these air-fresheners are essential oils. Although proper and pure essential oils can cost a couple of dollars, you need very little and the rewards are great.
Not only will your room be fragranced by pure natural oils extracted from botanical material, but you will also benefit from the therapeutic effects intrinsic to the oils.
To use essential oils as an air freshener simply do the following:
Take a clean plastic spray bottle (used for spraying plants) and half fill it with clean water. You may wish to use filtered or bottled water, to ensure that no contaminants are in the water.
Add 8 - 10 drops of a refreshing and uplifting essential oil to the water and shake well.
When you need to perk up a room, shake the bottle and give the room a couple of quick sprays, but make sure not to spray near polished furniture, as the essential oils can damage the polished surface.
Store the bottle in a dry cool area.
