Aromatherapy
at Home
Home is where your loved ones are. Of course,
you want to create a clean, comfortable, relaxing environment there. Aromatherapy can do all three of those for you and your
family in your home.
Creating a clean place for you and your family to live is
very important. First of all, there are germs everywhere and
second nobody wants to live in a dirty house. That’s what cleansers
at the store are for, right? Yes they are, but they’re also
very toxic in more ways than one. If a child or animal accidentally
ingests those chemical products, they could be poisoned. Also
just breathing in those harsh chemicals, while using them to
clean, is damaging to anyone around.
So how exactly would you use aromatherapy to clean your house?
That’s easy. There are a couple essential oils that are commonly
used for cleaning purposes. These include lavender oil, tea
tree oil, lemon oil, frankincense oil, pine oil, and grapefruit
oil.
Tea
tree oil is wonderful to use on its own as a disinfectant.
You can use it to clean just about anything around the house:
floors, counters, sinks, toilets, and showers. It also works
well if you mix it with lavender oil. Just get a water bottle
and fill it with water and a little borax or baking soda. Then
add just a few drops of tea tree and lavender oil and you’ve
made your own pleasant smelling disinfectant.
Pine
and frankincense both have similar cleaning properties
to those of lavender and tea tree oil. You can do the same
thing as stated above for a different aroma. This mixture would
be good for tackling mold that’s growing around the house.
You can also heat some frankincense oil and just let the vapors
fill your house. Germs will be dissolved and the air will be
fresh and clean.
Lemon essential oil is great for cleaning carpets. Instead
of other cleaners, add some lemon oil to the water and go for
it. Remember to use more essential oil for this task than you
would for say putting together a small water bottle or using
an essential oil diffuser. It’s a tough job so bring in the
muscles.
Grapefruit,
pine or tea tree oil are all effective to use
as a room deodorizer. If someone smokes at your house or you
have pets you’ll appreciate what these oils can do. You can
use any of these mixed in with some water, pour it into a spray
bottle and spray away. These essential oils will not just mask
the odors you’re trying to get rid of. They’ll actually take
them away. You can even use this mixture as a bathroom or car
freshener if you’d like.
Okay, so now that your house is clean it’s one step closer
to being comfortable and relaxed. What a difference a clean
house can make. So your house probably already smells wonderful
from the natural cleaning supplies you used, but if you want
something different or more relaxing there’s an oil for you.
Lavender oil is known for the ability to alleviate headaches,
lift depression and promote relaxation. It has a light floral
scent that you’ll love.
Frankincense is an essential oil that will help to slow and
deepen your breathing. Use some of this in your house and everyone
will calm down. You might want to blend the frankincense with
another scent to lighten it up a little.
Rose
oil is another popular essential oil that will put you
and your family in a good mood. It also has a light floral
scent that will help keep you focused while you clean.
To create that comfortable relaxed environment in your home,
you can use a diffuser or oil lamp to warm the essential oils.
Or, if all else fails you can always mix another bottle of
water with your favorite aroma and spray it anywhere you like.
So now you can safely and effectively clean your house without
using harsh chemicals. You and your family will feel good and
be protected from breathing anything that could be harmful
to you. When people come into your house they’ll enjoy the
natural aromatherapy in your house.
