How do I make my house smell nice with essential oils?
Add about 25 drops of your favorite essential oil to 2 tablespoons of baking soda and stir to combine. Lemon and lavender are great choices, but eucalyptus is my favorite because of the refreshing scent. Pour the baking soda and essential oil mix into the water and stir. Then funnel the water into your spray bottle. A few of her favorites include Peppermint, Lavender, and Lemon. These are cleansing oils, and can be diffused in your home to help cleanse the air, and promote clear breathing and healthy respiratory functions,” she explains. Eucalyptus supports the respiratory system, and helps to maintain clear airways.Generally, citrus oils (such as Sweet Orange) and herbal oils (such as Eucalyptus) work wonderfully together; the same goes for floral oils (like Lavender) and woodsy oils (like Cedarwood). But really, anything goes—if you like the way it smells, go forth and diffuse.
What essential oils should you not inhale?
Mugwort, thyme, rue and pennyroyal are toxic and hazardous. A lot of people are susceptible to allergic reactions from certain essential oils which cause no problems to others. As an example, i had a lady who got a severe allergic reaction just with inhalation of the geranium oil. Yes, avoid diffusing toxic oils like bitter almonds, pennyroyal, sassafras, and wintergreen. Always research an oil’s safety before use, especially if you have allergies or sensitivities. Also, check the diffuser manufacturer’s guide for recommended essential oils.
