I’ve been using some purchased natural room sprays for a couple of years now. I’m tickled that my oils guru has shown me just how simple they are to make. Two ingredients combined with whichever essential oils you want to use. Ya, it’s seriously that simple!
Of course, you have to have a bit of a knack for combining scents & usages of various essential oils, a bit like diffuser recipes. Still, there’s some room for experimenting, which is what I love the most about essential oils. Well, that, and their health benefits.
So let’s get to it! The two ingredients are witch hazel and water. The rest of the variances come from essential oil combinations. Here’s a recipe for one we made recently at an oils night:
Bathroom Spray
{Spritz in the bathroom or toilet for a bit of refreshing}
- 10 drops Lemongrass essential oil
- 10 drops Grapefruit essential oil
- 10 drops Bergamot essential oil
- 1 tbsp witch hazel
- water to fill
This particular spray seems like one you could slip into hubby’s stocking for Christmas or pack along to the family gatherings over the holidays.
Bedroom Spray
{Spritz in the room or on your linens}
- 10 drops Lavender essential oil
- 6 drops Joy essential oil
- 6 drops Lemon essential oil
- 4 drops Spearmint essential oil {optional ~ leave out if you want a more relaxing room spray, add if you want a more refreshing, clean linen spray}
- 1 tbsp witch hazel
- water to fill
Just measure the essential oil drops into a glass or aluminum spray bottle {which can be purchased in various sizes at Soap & More}. Add the witch hazel. Then fill the bottle with water, leaving enough room for the spray top/lid.
Happy Making!
