Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:18:29 +0000

Want to cut down on the use of potentially dangerous chemicals and still want to get rid of bugs and insects? Then try essential oils to get the job done. Many essential oils like citronella, lavender, and peppermint act as a natural repellent against insects and bugs. Put a few drops of your chosen essential oil into a spray bottle filled with water and spray around the room to repel insects. This also makes the room smell great. Another option is to use the oils in an oil burner or you can sprinkle a few drops onto cotton balls and place near your doorways and windows to help repel insects.

An Aromatherapy Bath

Aromatherapy also advocates the practice of taking baths using one or more of the essential oils. A hot bath with one of your favourite oils is an excellent way to get the benefits of your essential oils. The largest organ in your body, your skin gets the benefit of coming into contact with the essential oils and the vapours rising from the hot water benefits your olfactory system and lungs.

You can choose your essential oils based on your specific requirements. For example you can pick an essential oil to aid skin conditions like acne and scabies or to help relieve nervous conditions or muscular pain.

Using essential oils in your bath can be as simple as adding a number of drops just before you enter the tub. You can add a single oil e.g. lavender or a combination of oils based on your requirements. It is useful to use a dispersing agent so the oil spreads evenly throughout the bath rather than sticking together in drops.
