Natural Holiday Room Scents Made In The Crockpot

Fall and winter are the perfect time of year to make your own natural holiday room scents!

Cooler weather means spending more time indoors and holiday entertaining with friends and family. Your home will smell cozy, comforting, festive and absolutely delicious with these all natural holiday room scents made in the crockpot.

I’ll pass on the artificially scented candles and room sprays. While many of these do smell nice, they are filled with synthetic fragrances and toxic chemicals associated with hormone disruptions, allergic reactions, migraines, sinus pain, mental vagueness, dizziness, eye and skin irritations and more. What’s especially troubling is that these chemical toxins accumulate in human tissue. No, thank you. I’ll stick to my natural room scents that smell just as nice.

And these natural room scents couldn’t be more easy to make because they’re made in the crockpot! Oh how I love crockpots and this is just one more reason to love them. Just put your room scent ingredients in a mini crockpot (I love THIS one), fill it with water, turn it to low and you’ll have such a lovely holiday scent all day long.

Here’s 3 of my very favorite natural holiday room scents:

Ingredients

Holiday Spice

• Orange peels from one orange
• ¼ cup fresh cranberries
• 2 teaspoons whole cloves (Find HERE)
• 2 cinnamon sticks (Find HERE)

Warm Apple Pie

• Apple peels from 2 apples
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 tablespoon whole cloves

Orange Cinnamon Vanilla

• Orange peels from one orange
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 4 drops of vanilla essential oil (Find HERE)

Instructions

1. Choose a scent and place the ingredients in a mini crockpot.
2. Fill the crockpot with water.
3. Turn to low and leave uncovered.
4. Enjoy!

Notes

If the water levels gets too low, just add more water!
You can reuse the room scents a few times – just keep the mixture stored in the fridge up to 4 days while not in use.

Using Essential Oils For Arthritis

How to get relief for pain and inflammation with essential oils.

Natural therapies, especially aromatherapy and naturopathy, can be very helpful at altering body chemistry, eliminating toxic buildup and preventing new accumulation of uric acid.

Arthritis occurs due the imbalance of body chemistry when the body is not eliminating uric acid efficiently. Uric acid is deposited as crystals in joint spaces, resulting in inflammation, pain, stiffness, loss of mobility and eventually damage to the joint surfaces.

Attacks are extremely painful with the acute inflammation of the joint. After frequent attacks, large deposits of uric acid crystals cause permanent swelling and deformation of the joints, particularly in the knuckles.

For various forms of arthritis, aromatherapy can offer a great relief. Natural body resources should be activated, to facilitate the healing process – improve circulation, drain off the waste and improve nutrition to the affected tissues.

Essential oils can be used in the following ways:

 Topical application as massage oil, in the bath, or compress.

Detoxifying essential oils of juniper, lemon, cypress and fennel should be used in the bath and massage to help body release toxins.

•                         Recipe: 4dr juniper, 2dr lemon, 2dr cypress, 1dr fennel – dilute in 2 teaspoons of carrier oil and add to your bath water. Take bath for 15 min. 

Anti-inflammatory essential oils: chamomile, lavender, rosemary, benzoin – to be used in the bath or topical application for easing the pain and inflammation. Also, making a compress on the affected joints with the oils above can bring about the relief.

•         Recipe: 6dr german chamomile, 4dr lavender, 4dr rosemary, 3 dr benzoin. In 1 oz of oil.

For improving circulation, use black pepper, ginger, marjoram, benzoin. Above oils, are warming – ruberfacient oils.  Should be applied in the form of massage or compress. However, NOTE that when applying warming oils to the joint, it is of great importance to keep joints moving immediately after the treatment, otherwise the heating can cause congestion, which in turn can make matters worse rather than better.

•                         Recipe: 2dr pepper, 2 dr ginger, 4dr marjoram, 4 dr benzoin. In 1 oz of oil.

If redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use, or reduce the number of drops for pepper, ginger and benzoin. These oils can be irritating to the skin.

All of the treatments above reduce pain, inflammation, and make movement easier and less painful. Gentle exercise such as yoga is very helpful also.

Diet is extremely important part of treatment. Cleansing, vitamins and exclusion of red meats, caffeine, alcohol and in some cases dairy and gluten can be of great help.

If arthritis noticed and treated early enough, essential oil therapy can bring about a complete rehabilitation.

As always, consult your doctor before proceeding with the treatment.

Rosemary should be avoided if you have high blood pressure, seizures or epilepsy.

If you are suffering from depression, marjoram should be avoided.
