DIY Recipe: Invigorating & Purifying Room Spray

Create a refreshing and antiseptic room spray using Thymus Vulgaris Essential Oil, perfect for purifying the air and boosting focus.

Instructions for Preparing the Room Spray:

1. Sanitize: Ensure your spray bottle and all tools are clean and sanitized.

2. Combine Oils: In the spray bottle, add Thymus Vulgaris Essential Oil, Lemon Essential Oil, and Tea Tree Essential Oil.

3. Add Witch Hazel: Pour the Witch Hazel Extract into the bottle. This acts as a solubilizer to help the essential oils blend with the water. Shake gently to combine.

4. Add Water: Fill the remainder of the bottle with distilled water.

5. Shake Well: Close the bottle tightly and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well dispersed.

Recommendations for Use:

• Shake Before Use: Always shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the essential oils are evenly distributed.

• Application: Spray into the air to freshen rooms, eliminate odors, purify the atmosphere, or help with mental clarity. Avoid spraying directly onto delicate fabrics or polished surfaces, as essential oils can stain.

• For Respiratory Support: A few spritzes in a room can also help to clear and invigorate the breathing passages.

• Storage: Store the spray in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. It is best to use within 2-3 weeks, or for longer shelf life, consider adding a broad-spectrum preservative if you plan to make larger batches.

• Patch Test: If you plan to use this spray on linens or fabrics that come into contact with skin, it is advisable to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

• Caution: Essential oils are highly concentrated. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult with a healthcare professional before use.
