Kitchen

The kitchen is the place that we most associate with household smells. The wonderful mixture of natural aroma of fruits, vegetables and herbs can make the kitchen a welcoming and seductive place, but unfortunately it is also the source of many unattractive unwanted and harmful smells.

While cooking food, especially when frying or grilling, tiny particles of fat are released into the atmosphere. These cling to any surfaces with which they come into contact. These molecules lead to greasy work and wall surfaces as well as covering windows and ceilings. Rubbish is another cause of harmful smells and utility rooms which adjoin kitchens often have animal baskets and smells from boots and coats.

To cover and eliminate these smells, modern man has resorted to the use of many chemicals which are just as harmful as the bacteria and smells which they are eradicating. Many people do not realize that they are allergic to many household cleaners and sprays. We take in these chemicals through the air we breathe, through our skins, and by ingesting them from such things as plates and cutlery. These chemicals can cause such problems as asthma, headaches, skin rashes and nausea. Aromatic herbs and oils can make effective and environmentally friendly cleansers, toners and moisturizers.

It is wise to cleanse dining areas, without creating strong scent vibrations. Try to keep chemical aromas well away from dining rooms as these may put you off your food and impair the appetite. Rather, let the natural aroma of fresh herbs and spices act as nourishing vibrations in eating areas.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

The bedroom and bathroom should not only be a place where you can retire to sleep, they should be a nourishing place where you can enjoy time, relaxing and caring for yourself. You can clean negative vibrations from a bedroom with aroma in the same ways as suggested for the living areas. A drop of essential oil on a pillow can help you relax as you drift off to sleep. Cupboards and drawers can have scented sachets and lining papers. Burning romantic and relaxing oils in a room burner will instill your bedroom with loving and healing vibrations. You may wish to practice some form of relaxation technique or meditation in your bedroom. If you do, burn essential oils which will help still the mind and help you connect with your higher self, so harmonizing the different aspects of your being.

After you have cleaned surfaces and the toilet bowl in the bathroom with natural cleaners, you can make the bathroom a place where you can release the tension of the day. The Fragrant Pharmacy suggests you put a couple of drops of essential oil on the cardboard inside a roll of toilet paper. The cardboard will soak up the aroma and release it gradually over a period of time. A bowl containing potpourri is a colorful and healthy way of keeping your bathroom smelling fresh and clean. You do have to remember to add oils and toss the potpourri like a salad when .the aroma starts to fade.

The bathroom provides the perfect setting for a collection of candlesticks or a candelabra. Having a bath by candlelight provides both a relaxing atmosphere, and also allows your eyes a rest from harsh artificial lighting. Use scented candles or place a couple of drops of essential oils on the candle taking care not to wet the wick. Aromatic oils used in the bath permeate the skin and can be either stimulating, releasing or relaxing. You can also add certain essential oils to body lotions, face and hand creams and to vegetable oils which are used for massage.

Flowers for protection

Flowers create a peaceful and harmonious environment. They can protect and inspire, too, so use them for visualization, meditation or as a gift for someone you care about. They carry with them certain messages, depending on their type, color and aroma. When you understand the meaning of flowers, you can really use these gifts of nature to enhance the quality of your life. When selecting flowers to buy or grow in your garden think carefully about their healing qualities, too.
