Aromatherapy Around The Home Part 2

July 20th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Here are some more excellent ways to enjoy and use Aromatherapy around your home. 

  1.  Are mice a problem? Place several drops of Peppermint oil on cotton balls and place them at problem locations.
  2. 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.
  3. Home-made sachets are more fragrant when essential oils are blended with flowers and herbs.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Add essential oil to paper mache, the result is the creation of a lovely aromatic art piece.
  7. Cockroaches hate the smell of peppermint oil. Wipe bench tops in the kitchen with a wet sponge with a few drops of peppermint.
  8. 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.
  9. 1 drop of Lemon essential oil on a soft cloth with polish copper with a gentle buffing.
  10. 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.
  11. 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
