Hello everyone!
It’s been a while since I last talked about aromatherapy on this blog. One of the easiest ways of using essential oils
is making air freshener sprays. It’s so nice to spray them in the air and
breathe in the fresh, enjoyable and therapeutic scents.
Here is a very short
list of popular essential oils and
the benefits associated with diffusing
or inhaling their scent:
- Peppermint: used to boost energy
- Lavender: used to relieve stress
- Sandalwood: used to calm nerves and help with focus
- Bergamot: used to reduce stress
- Rose: used to improve mood and reduce anxiety
- Chamomile: used to improve mood and relaxation
- Ylang-Ylang: used to treat headaches
- Jasmine: used to help with depression
Making your own DIY essential oil air freshener spray is so simple! Just check out the recipe below!
There are hundreds of essential oils to choose from when making an air freshener spray. Feel free to use any essential oil you want. You can also
combine two or more essential oils to form a nice smelling blend!
Essential oils are
often grouped into categories. To find out more about these categories and how to blend
essential oils together, read this: Blending essential oils for beginners.
