Here are some more excellent ways to enjoy and use Aromatherapy around your home.
- Are mice a problem? Place several drops of Peppermint oil on cotton balls and place them at problem locations.
- The bathroom is easily scented by placing oil-scented cotton balls in inconspicuous places or sprinkle oils directly onto silk or dried flower arrangements or wreaths.
- Home-made sachets are more fragrant when essential oils are blended with flowers and herbs.
- An essential oil dropped on a radiator, scent ring, or light bulb will not only fill the room with wonderful fragrance but also will set a mood such as calming or uplifting. Don’t put essential oil in the socket.
- Sell your home? Fragrance sells! Fill the kitchen area with the aroma of spiced oils. Geranium oil sprinkled throughout the home creates a warm, cheerful and inviting mood.
- Add essential oil to paper mache, the result is the creation of a lovely aromatic art piece.
- Cockroaches hate the smell of peppermint oil. Wipe bench tops in the kitchen with a wet sponge with a few drops of peppermint.
- When moving into a new home, first use a water spray containing your favourite essential oils and change the odorous environment to your own. Do this for several days until it begins to feel like your space.
- 1 drop of Lemon essential oil on a soft cloth with polish copper with a gentle buffing.
- When washing out the fridge, freezer, or oven – add 1 drop of Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Mandarin or Orange essential oils to the final rinse water.
- A blend of Geranium, Lavender and Bergamot alleviate anxiety and depression. Use in a room diffuser or 5-10 drops in the bath.
Enjoy until next time

I shall have to try the Peppermint oil in my home this summer. It may save on pest control costs for those yucky cockroaches. I did not realize that they hated peppermint. It may work for mice too if they happen to come over.

I had no idea aromatherapy had such wide applications. I definitely have to try the mouse tip, much better than the other yucky options.
thanks
