The Use of Essential Oils

There is nothing like the smell of a real pine or spruce Christmas tree. What do you do if you have an artificial tree? What is the best way to get the aroma of a real tree in your house?

Of course there are tons of products with artificial spray made up of chemicals to smell like the real thing.

What I prefer to use instead of the fake stuff is essential oils.

There are several ways to burn them to get that nice aroma along with the benefits too. I have a little diffuser that I place a few drops on a piece of felt material, and that fits into the diffuser. It burns and gives the room such a pleasant aroma.

Which ones give you the best memories of Christmas's past?

There are many to choose from. My favorite is what smells like a Christmas tree. Probably pine or evergreen. I prefer these to the ones that smell like desserts baking in the oven or hot apple cider on the stove, although those seem to be pretty popular.

Read about the benefits and/or the effects they on the body. They are fun to play with. Try to use a high quality essential oil. The links under Resources at the bottom of the article will help you decide where to find good ones.
