| Aromatic Baths Sprinkle 5 drops of essential oil into a tub full of water just before getting in. Disperse oil droplets well. A thin veil of essential oil will envelope you in rejuvenating scent. Or for an aromataic shower soap, use a few drops of oil in unscented liquid castile soap, often available at health stores. Facial Oil As a facial moisturizer that will nourish and beautify the skin, add 5 drops of lavender oil, 5 drops of rose geranium oil, 2 drops of sandalwood oil, 3 drops of lemon oil, and 3 drops of chamomile oil, to a base of 2 fluid ounces of sweet almond oil, apricot oil, and jojoba oil. Include a few drops of natural Vitamin E oil or wheat germ oil to keep the mixture fresh. Weary or Motion-sick Travelers Keep a few cotton balls saturated with peppermint oil in a plastic bag. Remove a cotton ball from the bag for a few minutes to refresh the air in your vehicle on a long trip. |
| For a scented breeze on humid, summer days ----) Dab a drop of lavender oil on a fan or air-conditioner. To freshen and humidify the house in winter ----) Use bergamot oil on radiators. To set the mood for a party ----) Add a few drops of fragrant oil to the melting wax around the wick of unscented candles. Use pine oil at Christmas; Sandalwood oil for an evening; Rose Geranium oil for luncheons; Tangerine oil for a children's party. To encourage growth, condition, and body in your hair ----) Rub a few drops of rosemary oil into hair and scalp before washing, and add a drop to your shampoo; rosemary oil dabbed on your hair brush will prevent static electricity, and used as a hairdressing will relax a too-curly permanent. |
