Easy Essential Oil Uses

Week 40 - Day 298 of 2023 - October 5th

When the temperatures start to drop and we can’t leave the windows open all day - We break out our essential oil supply to freshen our indoor air and fabrics. We tend to stick with three simple affordable options -Diffusers, Sprays and Felted Wool.

When it comes to essential oils - a little goes a long way - always dilute essential oils. If you have small children or pets, check the safety list below.

Essential oils are sold online, in drugstores and Natural Food Stores. Be sure to Check labels when making purchases as labeling can be confusing. Here’s what to remember. Essential oils are extracted from plants. Diffuser oils are essential oils mixed/diluted with carrier oils. Fragrance Oils are synthetic and made in a lab.

Diffusers

Not sure what scent you are looking for? Start with a small set.

DIY Air/Fabric Freshener -

It’s all about the bottle - pick up an empty continuous mist spray bottle. Fill with distilled water and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil scent and you’re done - We like this 5 oz size - and we use different colors for different scents, or you can label them. For Travel look for pocket size misters.

Felted Wool

Wool felt is a highly porous natural fiber, allowing air to pass through rather than around it. Because of this, wool felt can be used as an eco-friendly portable diffuser for your essential oils. Felted wool is available in many shapes and can be used as dryer valls in air vents, as coasters and hanging diffusers. We put them in drawers and suitcases instead of sachets. Add a few drops of essential oil directly onto the wool. - no dilution is necessary.
