Aromatherapy Air Freshener DIY
It can be fun and easy to make your own aromatherapy air
freshener because anyone can use the specified ingredients
and make their own air fresheners. However, particular care
has to be exercised in choosing the right oils as they will
touch other things in the house. Aromatherapy dates back centuries
and its main practices too have gone through some modifications,
one of them being the use of aromatherapy air fresheners.
In aromatherapy, you should only use pure and natural essential
oils or floral waters or absolutes. You should treat essential
oils as carefully as medicine and never misuse them. Although
organic oils may perform better than non-organic oils, for
true aromatherapy you need not use fragrance oils and synthetic
compounds. However, you should use with care in which ingredients
are being used for making aromatherapy air fresheners.
Before choosing the ingredients of aromatherapy air fresheners,
you should get ready with a 4 ounce spray bottle with a fine
mist setting in which you can store your aSir freshener. Keep
in mind that you should avoid bottles that may have contained
cleaning products or hair products like hair sprays.
Once you have the bottle to hold the air freshener, then
use thirty to forty drops of a favorite essential oil or essential
oil blend and add one and a half ounce of distilled water
along with one and a half ounce of alcohol such as vodka and
then add another three ounces of distilled water. There are
numerous essential oil blends available for use and which
of these one uses, all depending on individual tastes.
Another method is to fill the spray bottle with one and a
half ounce of distilled water plus the same amount of alcohol
or three ounces of distilled water. After that, add thirty
to forty drops of essential oil and shake the bottle before
each usage and then leave the bottle for a day and decide
on whether it has the right aroma or not.
Once the aromatherapy air freshener has the time to settle
down, it will change its aroma. A point to note is to disallow
the air freshener mist to fall on the furniture or into any
open beverages as this can be harmful and dangerous.
