Essential Oils During the Holidays

Found a great article on eHow.com that talks about you can use essential oils in your holiday celebrations.  Take a look at a few of their tips below.  Also, see the link listed here.


1. Set the mood before guests arrive by diffusing a blend of cinnamon, clove, and vanilla or orange oils.  You can use clove studded oranges for centerpieces as well as aroma.
2. When preparing your home for guests, put a cottonball soaked in geranium oil in the vaccuum bag.  This should help to eliminate pet odors.
3. Diffuse citrus oils like tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, etc. throughout your home but especially in bathrooms and bedrooms. 
4. To dimish odors in your home, boil a large pot of water and remove it from the heat.  Add a few drops of clove oil.
5. For relaxation and conversation starting, use blends like rosemary, lavendar, or grapefruit.
6. To get your bathrooms ready for holiday guests, use blends with lavendar and thyme essential oils.  eHow.com recommends sprinkling a few drops on a small bowl of pebbles.
7. Keep your home illness free for the holidays with blends of eucalyptus, tea tree, or lavendar oils in a difuser or humidifier.
8. You can also use essential oils' natural properties to make natural hand santizer.  Will post that in another post soon!
9. You holiday house guests will have a spa experience with this tip: place a small bowl of salts with a few drops of essential oil.  Some great oils are grapefruit, rosemary and geranium blends, or juniper and rosemary.  It is said that the juniper and rosemary are detoxifying and energizing for food hangover sufferers.
10. Adding essential oils to your bath water can aid with indigestion relief.  Add two drops each of lavendar, grapefruit, and rosemary to a tablespoon of a carrier oil (almond oil is a popular one).
