It’s in the air!
November 20th, 2009
Freshen the air you breathe with essential oils! Simply put a couple drops of essential oil or an essential old blend into a bowl of hot water. Keep up and out of the reach of children and pets. (you can also put on a table and drape a towel over your head, and let it steam your skin – also see Facial teas).
Alternatively you can put the drops into a vaporizer, a diffuser, a humidifier, spray bottles (diluted with water), dishes and even hot candle wax!
