Essential Oils and Fragrant Medicinals

Vanilla

A Nice Room Spray

I personally love this blend because it has that clean citrus smell with the sweetness of vanilla, plus rosemary is beneficial for respiration.

This recipe is for a 4 oz. spray bottle, but of course it can be doubled or halved as needed.

  • Spray Bottle (4 oz)
  • 12 drops of Vanilla essential oil
  • 8 drops Orange essential oil
  • 10 drops Rosemary essential oil
  • 1 tablespoon of vodka or rubbing alcohol
  • 6 tablespoons of water
  • Optional – a bottle sized piece of one of your ingredients (I used Rosemary)

Put the vodka (or rubbing alcohol) into the bottle, and then add the essential oils. Shake well. Add the optional herb if desired. Then add the water. Shake well before each use.

Almost Eternal Sleep Blend

This recipe is for a 4 oz. spray bottle, but of course it can be doubled or halved as needed. It’s really simple to make, here is what you will need:

  • A 4 oz Spray Bottle.
  • 1 tablespoon of vodka or rubbing alcohol
  • 10 drops of Lavender essential oil
  • 12 drops of Vanilla essential oil
  • 7 drops of Chamomile essential oil
  • 6 tablespoons of water

Optional: A  sprig of Lavender, or a piece of Vanilla bean- small enough to fit into the bottle. This is mainly decorative, and does boost the scent a bit.

Pour the alcohol into the spray bottle and then add the essential oils. Shake well to blend. Add the optional ingredient, and the water. Shake well before using.

Important Notice

Almost anyone can enjoy the benefits of an aromatherapy oil, but certain individuals, such as pregnant women, persons with allergies, and those with respiratory conditions such as asthma should only use essential oils for aromatherapy under the guidance of a trained professional.

Keep in mind that essential oils are highly concentrated botanical extracts and should never be ingested or applied to skin at full strength. Consult a professional aromatherapist or an accredited reference on aromatherapy for advice on these uses.

For the fragrance that came to each was like a memory of dewy mornings of unshadowed sun in some land of which the fair world in Spring is itself but a fleeting memory…
