Essential Oils- Making Your House A Home

“If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a blessing over pleasure.”

We all want our homes to smell good and create a positive mood. Our sense of smell is alleged to affect 75% of our emotions. We often use a variety of room freshener & spray to refresh our homes. But, are often unaware of the toxic effects they might cause on our health like, the problem in breathing, feeling of fatigue, irritation, disturbance in hormones etc.

Ever thought to imbue your homes with reminders of nature? No right?

Did you know essential oils can also act as scents for your home? Whether you’re looking for a clean and crisp scent for your bathroom or relaxing and soothing aroma for your bedroom, essential oils can be your go-to option. The essential oil has been used for thousands of years in several cultures for medicinal and health purposes. With their antibacterial, antiviral & calming properties, essential oils are recently gaining popularity as a natural, safe & cost-effective therapy. The elements in essential oils come from extracting the different parts of plants, like, flowers, leaves, roots, barks etc. Just one drop of essential oil can have powerful health benefits.

Some of the many benefits essential oil have on our health includes, balancing hormones, boost immunity & fight infections, boost energy level, improves digestion, alleviates ache, and reduce emotional stress & anxiety.

1.       For foyer:

At the entrance of your home, alongside the welcome mat, a strong fragrant essential oil can create an easy and calm environment. Essential oils that can best work in this area are, Orange essential oil or geranium essential oil. Orange essential oil’s refreshing aroma gives you a clean and mood uplifting surrounding. Geranium essential oil’s depth of floral aroma calms your mind and induces a feeling of relaxation.

       2.       For kitchen:

If you want your kitchen to feel cozy & nice, Turmeric essential oil is a must. Turmeric essential oil’s warmth and depth of spicy aroma work as an effective insect repellent. Since cinnamon is prevalent with baked goods, many people associate cinnamon with warm memories of baking, sipping hot apple cider and spending time with family. 

3.       For living room: 

Rosemary essential oil can work best in your living room. Rosemary essential oil’s depth of herby aroma provides you respiratory relaxation. It also stimulates creativity and activates your memory. 

4.       For bedroom:

In your house, you spend most of your time in the bedroom. In here, you’ll want to choose the essential oil fragrance you enjoy and is calming to your senses. We strongly recommend Lavender Essential oil. It promotes peaceful sleep, reduces snoring and restlessness while sleeping and also induces positive thoughts and dreams.

5.       Your bathroom:

 If you enjoy a nice, long bath after a hectic and hard-won work day, if your bathroom is your thinking room, you'll want to choose an essential oil that induces feelings of relief and relaxation. We recommend Eucalyptus essential oil. Eucalyptus essential oil’s sweet-smelling aroma gives you a refreshed surrounding, relaxes your body and mind. This is the core of creativity, self-expression 

and communication. It enables one to be emotionally verbal and helps creative energies, ideas, visions and dreams to flow.

Keep your happy place and surroundings toxin free. Avoid using fresheners with chemicals, because this will not only depress your mood but can also invite health problems. Start investing in aromas that are 100% natural.
