Potpourri:
Make your potpourri by adding a few drops of essential oils to dried botanicals like leaves, pinecones, or spices. Place them in a decorative bowl or sachet.
When using essential oils topically during the fall season, remember these safety guidelines:
Dilution: Essential oils should be diluted with a carrier oil before applying to the skin. A common dilution ratio is 2% (approximately 12 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil).
When searching for carrier oils that complement the fall season, to dilute the essential oils, some recommended ones include jojoba or almond oil. These carrier oils provide nourishment and hydration for your skin as the weather turns cool.
Get creative with essential oils to make your own fall-inspired products:
Autumn Body Oil: Mix 6 total drops of essential oils in 30ml carrier oil, for a 1% blend. Cedarwood, lavender, and sweet orange for an autumn-inspired body oil. Massage over skin after coming out of shower or bath.
Remember to always perform a patch test, especially if you're new to essential oils, to ensure you don't have any adverse reactions. It is also important to be aware of potential contraindications or sensitivities for individuals with specific health conditions. Always consult with a clinical aromatherapist if you have health concerns before using aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to celebrate the fall season and create a warm, inviting atmosphere in your home. By using the best essential oils for autumn and adhering to safety guidelines, you can enjoy the magic of fall with all your senses. Embrace the autumn vibes and make this season truly unforgettable.
