14 DIY Herbal Scented Candles

January 12, 2022 by Shellie Wilson

If you are looking for a natural alternative to synthetically scented candles, then this DIY candle roundup is for you. Instead of artificial and fake scents, these candles use natural herbs to create unique, earthy fragrances. Eucalyptus oil is just one example of a natural scent that can be used to create a fresh, clean-smelling candle that can trick your brain into thinking your house is clean even when it’s not.

Eucalyptus oil is known for its invigorating and refreshing scent, making it a popular choice for aromatherapy and natural cleaning products. By adding eucalyptus oil to your homemade candles, you can enjoy its benefits in a relaxing and calming way.

But eucalyptus isn’t the only herb that can be used in candle making. Other popular options include lavender, peppermint, rosemary, and chamomile. These herbs not only provide unique fragrances but also have different therapeutic properties that can help improve mood and reduce stress.

Making your own herbal candles is also a great way to personalize your home decor and create a cozy atmosphere. With a few simple ingredients and tools, you can create beautiful candles that not only look great but also smell amazing. Plus, you can feel good about using natural ingredients that are better for you and the environment.

With the arrival of the Japanese Encephalitis Mosquito, it has become important to make sure those pesky mosquitos are not snacking on you.  Japanese encephalitis symptoms include Headache, neck pain, and Nausea. .  Japanese encephalitis does have a vaccine and you should contact your local medical professional for information on obtaining this vaccination.

But how else can you protect yourself against mosquitos? Keep mosquitoes away from exposed skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks, you can even wear a mosquito net hat.  Tuck shirts into pants and pants into socks to cover gaps in your clothing where mosquitoes can get to your skin.  For a natural repellent use essential oils for making your own Mosquito bug spray repellent. Add oils to water and spray into the air or add small drops to your clothing.  Use a Necklace or Bracelet oil diffuser to help repel mosquitoes naturally.  Insect bracelets and necklaces are great for children too.
