Guest guest Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 A Natural Approach To Healthy Living By Lucinda Jenkins LPNHC http://www.glenbrookfarm.com/herbs/eomixes.html Let's Clear The Air Naturally! Have you ever walked into a person's home and the smell is less than inviting? Worse yet,have you ever walked into a restaurant or cafe and dirty dish water smell greets your nose? ICK! There goes your appetite! A study done by the nursing home industry found that the more offensive smells employees had to endure the more uncooperative they were with each other. In the same study, a test environment had been safeguarded against offensive smells and permeated with pleasant scents, found that employee work effort doubled. Through the study of aromatherapy we learn that different smells can directly effect how we feel and how we think! A clean healthy smelling environment is very important in the dynamics of family situations. You can create many wonderful scented products, change the atmosphere of the home, and decrease the use of chemicals by blending different pure natural essential oils. Make your own dryer sheets! Mix together 15 drops of spearmint and 12 drops of lavender, put this mixture on a clean cloth and then fold the cloth several times. Wrap another cloth around that and toss into the dryer! (Did you know those commercial dryer sheets stimulate asthma attacks in children?) You can also dab oils on to a clean cloth and place in your closest or drawers Remove Stinky Odors Air Mist In a small spray bottle add 4 ozs of purified water Add 30 drops of litsea cubeba essential oil Add 30 drops of sweet orange essential oil add 20 drops of cinnamon leaf.
