Aromatherapy Room/Linen Sprays


Another reason I am so glad I took an interest in aromatherapy is the all-natural room sprays I can make. I think we all keep air fresheners in our house (especially in the bathroom lol) but do you really like the smell of the average store-bought spray that reeks of synthetic chemicals? And how well did they actually deodorize the air? Honestly I was never very impressed with any of them. Also, most of them would give me a headache. With my Aromas of Eden Room/Linen Sprays you will get an all-natural air freshener/deodorizer that will do just that, freshen and deodorize the air without the headaches!


Here is my trash session towards synthetic fragrance "air fresheners":
  • Most of them contain toxic chemicals such as camphor (on the EPA's hazardous waste list), Benzyl Alcohol (can cause upper respiratory tract irritation and a drop in blood pressure), Dichlorobenzene (extremely toxic and banned in California), Ethanol (toxic carcinogenic), Formaldehyde (toxic if inhaled), Limonene (carcinogenic), Napthalene (toxic carcinogen), Phenol (has caused circulatory collapse, coma, and even death), and Pinene (flammable agent that is very destructive of mucous membranes).
  • Their chemicals have been implicated in cancer, neurological damage, reproductive and developmental disorders and other conditions.
  • They can aggravate asthma and/or trigger attacks.
  • Indoor air quality experts recommend against using them.
  • The solid versions of these usually cause death if eaten by children or pets.


Okay so enough with the negative and now with the positive! My aromatherapy room/linen sprays are based on the organic compounds of the essential oils that are in each one. They are beneficial to your health in different ways depending on which scent you are using. For example, I like to use Tangerine Dream Room Spray during the day because it creates a light, fruity smell that is very uplifting. I use Breath of Spring Room/Linen Spray around the litter box area (which works very well, lavender is an awesome deodorizer) and on the bed for its relaxing, sedative properties. Blissful Bouquet Room/Linen Spray has a wonderful floral aroma that contains 2 aphrodisiac essential oils as well as Geranium (known as woman's best friend).

Here is a story that will make you laugh :) A couple weeks ago I was in the bathtub when my daughter decided to come in and do #2. I know, you gotta love kids lol. I yelled at my husband to get a room spray and it completely deodorized the bathroom (Thank God!!).

Welcome

Welcome to my blog! My name is Virginia and I am the owner of Aromas of Eden. I am very new to blogging so bear with me. I recently started this small business and am very excited about it. I love studying about essential oils and using them in bath and body products. I only use 100% pure essential oils in my products.Why do I only use essential oils you ask? Because they are much more beneficial and healthy than fragrance oils. Fragrance oils are mostly made up of synthetic compounds in which many of the components are known skin irritants. Chemists make these synthetic compounds by dismantling the unique chemical compound of an essential oil, drastically lowering the quality to save money and increase profit. Furthermore, most of the chemicals used in synthetic fragrances are derived from petroleum and include benzene derivatives, aldehydes and many other known toxins and synthesizers capable of causing cancer, birth defects, central nervous system disorders and allergic reactions. Essential oils are natural mixtures of organic compounds and are generally extracted by distillation. They are called essential oils because they were once thought to represent the very essence of odor and flavor. Depending on each individual oil, they have many therapeutic properties that can aid in a number of different physical, mental, and emotional areas. On top of that, many of them have beautiful aromas that make you smell delightful and lighten up your day. Aromatherapy Benefits + Smelling Great = Win, Win!
