AIR FRESHENER or BODY SPRAY
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 oz. clean spray bottle with a fine mist setting (do not use a bottle that previously contained cleaning products or hair products such as hair spray).
- ¼ oz (30-40 drops) of your favorite essential oil or essential oil
- 1.5 ounces of distilled water and 1.5 ounces of high-proof alcohol (vodka is suitable, rubbing alcohol is not) or 3 ounces of distilled water.
Directions: Fill the spray bottle with the choice of either 1.5 ounces of distilled water and 1.5 ounces of alcohol or 3 ounces of distilled water. Then, add 30-40 drops of oil. Fragrance oils can very in strength. You may want to try 20 drops at first especially if you live in a household with someone who is sensitive to strong aromas. Shake the bottle prior to each use, and let it sit for about a day before making a conclusion that the aroma is too weak; the aroma can change after the air freshener has had time to sit. Mist lightly in the room or onto your body after your shower or bath. Be especially careful not to allow the air freshener mist fall onto furniture or into open beverages.
BATH OIL
Ingredients:
- 20 drops of your favorite oil or of your own blend of oils.
- 2 ounces of a carrier oil (almond oil works well)
Directions: Mix your ingredients together and store. After you have drawn your bath water, add about 1/4 ounce of the bath oil blend to your bath water. If you intend to use this bath oil with children, use a smaller amount of the blend in the child's bathwater. Mix well to ensure that the blend has dispersed well in the tub and hop on in. |
