Use Lemon essential oil for keeping your indoors fresh and smelling good as the season becomes heavy because of the monsoon.
Our Monsoon season can be divided into two parts, the summery hot and humid monsoon and the heavier cooler monsoon which begins around August. Well August would ideally be autumn according to western season cycle, but here in India, it is ‘sawan’. This season brings with a definite chill in the air with thoughts of snuggling into your bed or wearing heavier clothes when you go out.
In other words we start looking forward to winter, even though winter is still at least three months away.
At this time I suggest using the wonder oil of ‘Lemon’ to keep your indoors fresh and energized. You will be spending a lot of time indoors, especially if it rains continuously.
My recipe for an indoor/bath fragrance
Effects
Will energize your mood and prevent inertia and boredom. Fragrance of Lemon essential is pleasant & non-intrusive and brings mental clarity.
The oil is antiseptic as well and has a sterilizing affect on your bathroom/room floor. Will keep away insects.
Will protect your aura from being attacked
How to Make and Apply My Treatment
Take a medium sized bottle and fill it with distilled water. You can also use boiled water or ordinary water. Pour 3-4 drops of essential oil of Lemon. Shake vigorously. It’s now ready for use. Now inhale the aroma from the bottle. Can you smell a light refreshing lemon fragrance? This fragrance will fill up your bathroom, if you put a few drops of this liquid in a quarter bucket of water and splash it all around in the bathroom.
Also use a few drops in the water while mopping the floor. But I suggest using it only in the bathroom or in one of the rooms at a time. Otherwise you may feel overpowered.
Use of Aroma-therapy on the self should be slow and subtle, as its effects can be far reaching.
Note: If you don’t have essential oil, you can begin by using the peel of actual lemons. You can rub these on door handles, especially the front door and table tops for releasing the oil onto the surface and giving off the light fragrance.

PLEASANT ORANGE BATH SALT FOR THE NEW SEASON
A refreshing bath salt, with fragrance of Orange Essential oils and other moisturizing oils for adding into your bath water. Helps you transition your mood and your energy smoothly into the new season!
The hot sunny season has arrived. Did anyone see any sign of spring?
The spring season in Delhi has become too short and hardly leaves any mark on the season calendar. I mean you might as well say Delhi has four to five seasons…Hot Summer, Monsoon, mild winter and/or severe winter.
The evenings are still cool and refreshing. I’m sure most of us are ruing the upcoming summer season when the nights are going to be as hot as daytime.
While most of us have devised our own ways of keeping cool, to keep us energetic and on the go, it is also important to work on our energies to ensure that they do not flag under the hot sun. To keep upbeat and positive and to gain that morning spark here is a recipe for a pleasant bath salt blend.
Though aromatherapy is not a full fledged recognized science, its benefits have been experienced by people who practice or try it on themselves. Each of the Essential oils, which are used in Aromatherapy, corresponds to healing a particular condition/organ/mood etc.
Most important of all, Aroma cleanses and heals at a spiritual level, which ultimately determines our physical, mental and emotional condition.

A refreshing Orange sea salt in your bath for smooth transition into the hot summer season and for moisturizing the skin
Effects
Gives a boost to your mood and energy in this season
How to Make and Apply My Treatment
Fill a glass jar with sea salt. If the granules are big and lumpy, grind them naturally (not through an electrical appliance) so they can dissolve in water easily.
In this jar put about 6-7 drops of Orange essential oil and 2-3 drops of Jojoba oil. Shake it well so that the sea salt mixes well with the essential oil.
Close the jar tightly and keep it for 2-3 days before using it.
For using, drop about one teaspoon (you can use more if you like) of your Orange salt in your bath water tub or bucket.
The aroma of the essential oil and the salt will boost your mood and energy, preventing it from wilting under the hot sun. It will stay with you till you get used to the heat. The Jojoba oil will moisturize your skin and prepare it for the upcoming season.
Note: You can experiment whether you want to use this bath treatment daily or once in a while. I would suggest that it should be used twice in a week.

My Home Spa Treatment
Lavender sea salt treatment in your bath for removing negativity from aura and keeping skin clean and healthy.
How to Make and Apply My Treatment
Fill a glass jar with sea salt. If the granules are big and lumpy, grind them naturally (not through an electrical appliance) so they can dissolve in water easily.
In this jar put about 10 drops of lavender essential oil. You can add dried rose petals as well in this jar. Close the jar, shake it well so that the sea salt mixes well with the essential oil.
Close the jar tightly and keep it for 2-3 days before using it.
For using, drop about one teaspoon (you can use more if you like)of your lavender salt in your bath water tub.
The aroma of the essential oil and the salt drive away negativity, soothes frayed nerves, cleans skin pores naturally leading to good health over the long term.
Tips and Tricks
•Bathing with sea salt and essential oil is especially beneficial for the elderly.
•You can add other essential oils as well, but use them only if you feel affinity for them.
•You can tie a decorative ribbon and a tag around the jar neck and use it as a great gift.
•Experiment whether you want to use this bath treatment daily or once in a while. I would suggest not more than twice in a week.
•An aromatic candle near your bath tub will enhance the experience.
•Shower users can put the salt in a cloth bag and tie it on the shower head so that water flows through it.
