Aromatherapy and Home Made Air Fresheners

When is the last time you smelled your house? No, I mean, really smelled it. The way it smells to those who are coming to visit and knocking on your door for the first time.

The best way to determine what your house really smells like is to leave your home, maybe run errands or go shopping, and then when you return. Truly smell your home. If you don’t like what your senses tell you, then you may need to rethink your choice of air fresheners.

Aromatherapy offers many benefits to those who are looking for more options in the area of home scents. There are many different reasons why people choose Aromatherapy, for stress reduction, healing from herbal essences, and to achieve balance between body, mind, and spirit. Yet one of the overall benefits of Aromatherapy is just that: Aroma Therapy.
