Every wizard and witch needs some aroma power to diffuse the situation… but remember earlier when we talked about the harmful effects of room sprays? Candles rank right up there with sprays! 
 
“Most scented candles use synthetic fragrances and dyes that give off dangerous VOCs even at room temperature. Commonly emitted VOCs related to the scent in candles include formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, limonene, alcohol and esters. These harmful chemicals can cause health problems ranging from headaches, dizziness and allergy symptoms to asthma attacks, respiratory tract infections and even cancer.”
Let’s skip the candles and plug in that diffuser instead! You are doing your lungs and your wallet a favor. Try the following diffuser blends to bring peace, knock your enemy out, conjure up beauty sleep, power yourself up with energy, and so much more!

Welcome to...

Every wizard knows that quality ingredients matter when it comes to potions and brews. There are many essential oil companies out there and what sets Young Living apart from all of them is their ‘Seed to Seal’ promise. 
Did you know that YL:
-owns its own farms, which no other major company does. Its partner farms all over the world have to abide by the same standards?
-won’t plant on soil that has been in contact with ANY chemicals within 50 years? (Organic standards are only three years!)
-hand weeds and uses its own oils on plants for weed and pest control to avoid harmful chemicals?
-harvests at peak times to ensure you get the highest quality oil?
-distills on site at the proper temperature, which allows the oils to maintain the highest amount of their naturally occurring constituents as possible, without the use of harsh chemicals?
-And tests every batch multiple times, and in multiple ways, throughout the process with state-of-the-art equipment and on-staff scientists?
  
A few helpful tips when using your oils...
-  Some oils are hot, so dilute with a carrier such as coconut oil or YL’s V-6 complex when using on children, sensitive skin, or anytime you experience discomfort. 
-Do not drip essential oils into your ear canal or directly into your eyes. If you do get oils in your eye, stay calm and apply a carrier oil, not water. 
-When in doubt, apply to the bottoms of your feet!
-Citrus oils can cause your skin to be more sensitive to UV rays. To be safe, apply citrus oils where the sun (or a tanning bed) won’t be shining. 😉
-Use glass, ceramic, or stainless steel when adding citrus oils to your water. Citrus oils can break down plastic and nobody wants to drink plastic!
Your oils can be used:
 
Topically: Put a couple of drops right on your skin and rub it in. No need to be precise. Just get them on your skin! Worried about sensitive skin or a hot oil? Dilute it with a carrier oil (grapeseed oil, coconut oil, Young Living’s V-6 oil, etc.) and apply to the bottoms of your feet.
Aromatically: Put them in your diffuser, apply them to diffuser jewelry or your hands and breathe deep, or inhale directly from the bottle! Easy peasy!
Internally: Young Living has a special line of oils that are safe to ingest called Vitality oils. Put a few drops into an empty vegetable capsule, a cup of tea, or a glass of water. You can even cook & bake with them! Even though these bottles have a different label, the oil contained inside is exactly the same as the oil in the colored label bottles... 😉
 
Let’s start the DIYs with Sprays...
Concocting your own sprays is a great way to eliminate the harmful chemicals found in commercial room and fabric sprays. Some of these chemicals, like BHT, Propylene Glycol, Linalool, and Benzaldehyde (sadly, just to name a few...) have been found to be neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors, and irritators of your eyes, skin, and lungs. Do a quick Google search on the dangers of these chemicals and commercial room sprays in general. You’ll be surprised...or disgusted...or angry...
 
Before we jump into the potions and brews recipes, take heed of this wizardly tip! Always keep Copaiba on hand - it has the power to enhance and magnify the effects of another oil.
 
For each spray you will need: 
- 4 oz glass spray bottle
- 2 Tbsp witch hazel
- Distilled water
- 2 Tbsp witch hazel
- Distilled water
- 15-30 drops of essential oils
 
Add witch hazel and essential oils to glass bottle. Top off with distilled water. Shake well before each use.
♥ Obliviate Spray 
 
Dispel odors from your home with this house-elf approved spray! Gather these two oils for your brew:
- 10-15 drops Purification

Spritz this brew on curtains, carpets, and anything else that could use some freshening up or whenever you need a little magic around!
♥ Accio Fall Spray 
 
Summon this sweet aroma to get in the spirit of the fall season!

Spritz around to attract the season of candy and cauldrons!
