Perfect oil diffuser Aromas
I enjoy diffusing essential oils. They have the potential to clean out the air from free radicals, help alleviate seasonal pain, and increase your concentration or minimize tension. What's more, they smell great.
But knowing which oils to use together can be tricky. Pick the right ones and you've got a home run. Choose the wrong ones and pour your blend down the drain.

Before you start to diffuse here are a few things to know.
  • You need a cool- air diffuser. Usually, these diffusers require to add a small amount of distilled water along with essential oils.   
  • You need essential oils.  Diffuser recipes usually use 8 to 12 drops of oil.
  • There are many variants of some recipes. It's not because one formula is better or worse than another, it's that the body chemistry of each individual is different and each oil may have a different impact on it. Find the one that works for you and feel free to try.
​
Here I provide you some blend for daily life. Hope you will like them!

Natural household cleaners that work hard
  Cleaning a house naturally is not any more difficult than cleaning it with harsh chemicals. It improves indoor air quality and is much safer, especially for children.

Common commercial cleaners are loaded with toxic and polluting substances intended to make home life easier. The costs of these chemicals can be high if we consider long-term family health issues and environmental contamination caused by their production and disposal.  ​One in three people in the US suffers from allergies, asthma, sinusitis, or bronchitis. Many cleaning chemicals are allergy and asthma causing and for the prevention of the condition should involve reducing synthetic chemicals in the home environment.

​Combinations of the different eco-friendly household items can provide less harmful substitutions for many commercial products. In most cases, they’re also less expensive. The other great thing about natural cleaning recipes is that they are safe for kids to use. The earlier, the better I say! Here are some formulas for safe, alternative home care products.
