Creating your very own aromatherapy air freshener can be enjoyable and simple, because anyone can use the specific elements and make their personal air fresheners. However, special care should be taken in selecting the correct oils because they will be in contact with other stuff in the house. Aromatherapy goes back many hundreds of years and its fundamental procedures have undergone some changes too. One of the changes is its use for aromatherapy air fresheners.

In aromatherapy, use just pure and natural essential oils, floral waters or absolutes. One should treat essential oils with the same care as medicine and keep them away from pets and children. While organic oils may usually perform better than non-organic oils, for proper aromatherapy there is no call for the use of fragrant oils as well as synthetic composites; either of them could be used. All the same, one should exercise care in which ingredients are being used for making aromatherapy air fresheners.

Before getting into the ingredients of aromatherapy air fresheners, you should have a 4 ounce spray bottle ready, which is set to a fine mist setting in which you can store your air freshener. You should bear in mind that one should avoid bottles that may have contained cleaning products or hair products like hair sprays.

Two methods of creating aromatherapy air freshener.

1. Once you have the bottle to hold the aromatherapy air freshener, use thirty to forty drops of your favorite essential oil or essential oil blend and add one and a half ounce of distilled water along with one and a half ounce of alcohol such as vodka and add another three ounces of distilled water. There are many essential oil blends available for use, which of these you use depends on individual preferences.
2. Another variation is to fill the spray bottle with one and a half ounce of distilled water plus the same amount of alcohol or three ounces of distilled water. To this add thirty to forty drops of essential oil and shake the bottle before each usage and then leave the bottle for a day and decide on whether it has the right aroma or not.

Once the aromatherapy air freshener has had time to settle, it will probably alter its fragrance. One tip to be aware of is to never allow the air freshener mist to fall on the furniture or into any drinks or food as this can be potentially dangerous.
