The Use of Essential Oils: Best Italian essential oils and their properties – Hermitage Oils

Italian essential oils give off different aromas and affect our senses immensely- and if we were to compare them to synthetic fragrances, there could only be one simple explanation. There isn’t one.

Synthetics cost less that is about the only benefit they offer. In reality, the fragrance is extremely harmful to breathe in. Essentials can be used to perfume, deodorize, disinfect and stimulate as well to repel nasty house pests. Use them as air sprays, in oil burners, in baths, and during a massage.

Homemade oil blenders for the best aroma

Of course, Italian Essential Oils blends made at home are a wonderful way to change the air in a home is to freshen it with oils containing mood-lifting properties. You can make environmentally safe and natural products to freshen your home. It’s ideal to make a blend of perfume as an experiment to see if you like it, then go ahead and use it as a spray around the house. Don’t spray on furniture.

Use Italian essential oils for kitchen troubles, instead of using toxic chemicals

Sometimes we have trouble in the kitchen. Little bugs seem to come from everywhere and even hatch automatically inside some grains and spices. You may even find ants marching about, or even those fast runners that we won’t here mention. Instead of turning to 3 different specialized toxic chemicals (especially where there’s food) each one made specifically for a different bug- why not try to control them with Italian essential oils?

Bug Zapper mix

• 2 tsp of Lemon essential oil
• 1 1\2 tsp of Pine essential oil
• 1\2 tsp of Cinnamon essential oil
• 1\2 tsp of Tea tree (even my cat runs from this one, more than the lavender)
• Again, blend all oils in a glass bottle of 1 fl oz (30 ml) shake

You should let it stand for 5 days. Shake well before using.

Replace detergents and cleansers – All-purpose natural cleaners

Everyone always asks me how I clean things without ever buying detergents or cleansers. If you think about it for a minute and use your imagination, you’d come up with so many substitutes for every cleaning solution or abrasive cleaner that exists. Basically, they didn’t always exist. For instance, I use baking soda and salts instead of cleansers. They clean, purify, and do the same job without leaving a toxic film on everything. I use baking soda to clean my dishes. You can also try a mixture used as an all-purpose cleaner; this may be used in the kitchen, bathroom, and playroom, anywhere!

All-Purpose Cleaner

• 2oz (60g) of baking soda (kills germs)
• 2 liters of hot water
• 4 tsp of vinegar
• 3 tsp of the bug zapper
• 4 tsp of ammonia
• First mix the baking soda and hot water
• Let cool

-Combine the bug zapper with the ammonia

-Allow the oils to dissolve

-Shake well!

-You may use in a spray bottle or on a sponge

So simple, so inexpensive and so very non-toxic!

Bathrooms have a way of sprouting up black fuzzy plants that love the wet humid crevices in tiles, on ceilings, plastic shower curtains, or shower doors. It becomes an ugly sight and is not so healthy to breathe in their germs in the air. Besides cleaning the bathroom you can double disinfect it with an Italian essential oil spray. It not only keeps germs at bay but discourages the black fuzzy plants and leaves your bathroom with a pleasant fragrance.

Bathroom Protectors from Italian essential oils

• 1 1\2 tsp of Lemon essential oil
• 2 tsp of Bergamot essential oil
• 1 tsp of Pine essential oil
• 1\2 tsp of Citronella essential oil
• 1\3 tsp of Thyme essential oil
• 1\2 tsp of Tea Tree essential oil
• Place and shake well in a 1 fl oz glass bottle. Let sit for 5 days. Shake well before using.

For furniture try Olive oil and lemon juice!

• 1\4 cup of olive oil
• 1\4 cup of lemon juice
• 1 tsp of lemon essential oil. Place in a bottle and shake well.

After all this, I hope your home will be almost toxin free!

Italian essential oils blends are the best replacements – Quit using detergents and enjoy a new atmosphere

It will probably help change the mood and atmosphere, as essential oils have a true effect on our senses and frame of mind. If you go out of your way to pick up a few basic Italian essential oils (lavender, lemon, and tea tree) you may start with one or two blends and see how they work. Moreover, try and take the time to slowly get used to life without detergents, do you ever remember walking down the aisle of the store lined with cleaning products?

However, they shouldn’t put them all together; it takes your breath away! I can hardly believe the people can make it from point A to point B without passing out from the fumes. When we store cleaning agents in our homes it’s the same – the fumes seep out – and we do not smell it anymore due to habit.

*Remember, there are always alternatives to everything we use.
