Aromatic Reed Diffuser
 A Lovely  Monday Morning to you all!

PLEASE STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGIENE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING.

Do you know…….Reed diffuser is an elegant way to aromatize any room without the use of heat or flame. Homemade Aromatherapy reed diffuser is very popular and is an excellent holiday gift that can be customized in many ways. So get creative and have fun.

With Corona pandemic and with new cases of the novel coronavirus being reported daily around the world, here is a simple DIY disinfecting reed diffuser recipe:

Disinfecting Aromatic Reed Diffuser

           Disinfecting Reed Diffuser

6 drops Bergamot Essential Oil

4 drops Lemon grass Essential Oil

4 drops Lavender Essential Oil

4 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil

¼ Cup Apricot or Jojoba Carrier Oil

2 Tbsp Alcohol

Rattan Reeds and a glass jar with narrow neck

Add ¼ cup of Apricot Seed or Jojoba Carrier oil (or can use Dipropylene glycol, but I don’t like using it) to a glass measuring cup, now add 2Tbsp of alcohol (Vodka or rubbing alcohol), and above essential oils (or add 15-20drops of  your desired Essential Oils). Stir the mixture well with a reed stick and pour it in a narrow neck glass bottle or jar. Add the rattan reeds to the bottle so that the ends are submerged fully in the oil (Rattan reeds can be cut to desired length if needed). The reeds soak up the scent and emit a pleasant aroma in any room or office space.Turn the reeds upside down once in couple of weeks to get the most aroma from the mixture. Once a month can top up with more essential oils, depending on how much mixture is left. Base note essential oils tend to last much longer than top notes.

FYI: According to WHO (World Health Organization), Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. This virus is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. Most people who get COVID-19 have mild or moderate symptoms, cough, fever, difficulty breathing, can recover if seek medical care early. The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is being well informed about the cause and the spread of the disease. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently, Cover your nose and mouth with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze, don’t touch your face with dirty hands, and maintaining social distancing of 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people. The current statistics is, more than 491,000 people have died from COVID-19, while more than 9.6 million confirmed cases in at least 188 countries and territories and more than 4.8 million people have recovered to date.

Importance of Thoughts in Our Lives

Posted on June 22, 2020 by in Importance of Thoughts in Our Lives

Importance of Thoughts in Our Lives
A Lovely  Monday Morning to you all!

PLEASE STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGIENE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING.

Do you know…….We have heard many times that thoughts manifest and thoughts become the reality of life. The entire process of our living starts in our head based on our life time thoughts. Our thoughts whether positive or negative, not only affect us, but also the people around us. Once I read a quote of Mahatma Gandhi, “Our thoughts decide our actions and our actions define us.”

          Importance of Thoughts in Our Lives

We generally yield to our feelings and make instant decisions. If we don’t have a healthy mind, and healthy thoughts, we can’t have a healthy physical body either. We have two types of mind; Conscious and Subconscious mind. We emit vibrations through our subconscious mind that produces positive or negative energy based on our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, which defines our personality, our actions. You will notice, people walking around upbeat will rub off that Positive energy to whoever comes in contact with them and we all want to be around that person. While, Negative attitudes undermine our confidence, determination, willpower, and feeling sorry for ourselves, as well as pulling down everyone around us.

It’s a human psychology to find something or someone to blame for the atrocities in our lives. In certain cases, it is the truth then, it is our own fault to trust someone so much so, to let them manipulate and ruin our life. This ultimately can have a seriously detrimental effect on our general health and well-being. We just have to break loose our negative, destructive thought pattern of daily living and rewire the subconscious mind to evolve personal excellence. We will notice the positive impact on our physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Researchers studied that it’s important to feed high energy words, thoughts in our body and mind before sleeping to slow down our mind. Instead of watching crime, detective, or scary shows, or negative news, or thinking of disputes, or failures before bed time, that would disturb our mental state and our sleep. This can lead into a vicious cycle of negative thinking that holds us back and hurts us in our lives. We all know the phrase, “Garbage in-garbage out.” Therefore, it’s essential that we don’t let our critical inner voice slip into our thoughts without our knowledge and mess up our thinking patterns.

To attain happiness and get rid of negative thoughts, we can follow these guidelines:

  • Give gratitude to the Almighty, to our family, to our care takers, to our nature, and to our health.
  • Think only what we want to be with positive affirmations.
  • Staying Grounded: by regularly practicing meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and exercising, will help with our hormonal balance, which in turn will keep our stress and anxiety in check.
  • Avoid negativity and toxic, deceitful people, who can’t be the support we require.
  • Indulge in creative activities that gives pleasure, but haven’t had time for it before. We deserve it.
  • Walk in nature to get connected with our surroundings and the beautiful Mother Nature.
  • Be compassionate to others and spread kindness, we will receive the same with blessings in return.
  • Spend quality times with our loved ones.
  • Consume healthy diet filled with positivity and high energy, because we are what we eat.
  • Finally, smell the aroma of favorite Essential oil that has the power to deviate us from our usual thought pattern and help dispel negativity.

Essential Oils are natural, volatile, concentrated, liquid plant extracts with individual therapeutic properties and have been used since ancient times to cure different ailments. A sense of smell is one of the five senses and a powerful connector between people and the world around them. Suggested oils that are uplifting and help the majority of people feel happy include; Citrus scents: Bergamot, Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Tangerine, Minty scents: Peppermint, Spearmint and Pennyroyal.

Neroli (helps with anxiety and panic), Roman and German Chamomiles, Helichrysum (helps with the feelings of frustration, bitterness and anger), Spikenard, Lavender and Rose (help with overall feelings of no self-worth). Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Rosemary, Patchouli, Melissa, Coriander, Sweet Marjoram, Frankincense, Myrrh, Vetiver, Clary Sage, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Hyssop, Pine needle, Tea Tree, Ginger, Geranium, Juniper berry, Thyme help to cultivate positivity.

By surrounding ourselves with these aromas, we can affect the way we feel about ourselves and other people we come into contact with. We will find a tremendous peace, strength and courage within, that leads to a quiet state where simple solutions can often be found to what were previously seen as complicated problems.

Mood Lifting Positive Thinking Diffuser Blend:

2 drops Geranium Essential Oil

2 drops Grapefruit Essential Oil

2 drops Frankincense Essential Oil

Add these oils to your diffuser as desired to enjoy the calming, soothing aroma for positive effect.

Do you know…….Lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) are tiny, wingless parasites that feed solely on human scalp and survive on minuscule amounts of blood. An adult louse can be light brown or grey, is two-three millimeters long. According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), 6 to12 million elementary school-aged children get lice each year in the U.S. Head lice can be contagious, but do not carry disease and do not pose a medical threat of any kind. Adults and children get infected primarily through head-to-head contact with an infected child-adult who has either lice or their eggs (nits), or through sharing items like hats, combs, pillows, bedding, scarves, and towels.

Wet combing using a fine toothed comb is the easy, cheap, effective, but time consuming method of treating head lice or can use over-the-counter medicated shampoo. For non-toxic natural alternative to treat lice use Essential Oil which is plants natural defense against pests and pathogens. That is why they can be an effective treatment for head lice. Essential oils that are effective against lice are:

Aromatherapy aid to Multigenerational Household Stress

Posted on November 12, 2018 by in Aromatherapy for Multigenerational Household Stress

Do you know………According to Pew Research Center (is a nonpartisan American fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world), in 2016, a record 64 million people, or 20% of the U.S. population, lived with multiple generations under one roof and is increasing because of growing racial and ethnic diversity in the U.S. population. The Asian and Hispanic population groups are more likely than whites to live in multi-generational family households, defined as including two or more adult generations or including grand-parents and grand-children younger than 25 yrs Of age. Now a days, living with parents has become a common arrangement for adults ages 18 to 34.

Multi-Generational Household Stress

Multi-generational relations will be more important in the 21st century for the following reasons: (a) the demographic changes of population aging and living longer (b) the increasing importance of grandparents fulfilling family functions (c) the strength and resilience of inter-generational solidarity over time (d) changes in family structure involving divorce and step-family relationships. Research shows that living with other generation, has physical and mental health benefits, as well has its own complications too.

Multi-generational Household Benefits:

Caring-praying-celebrating together

Parents and Grand-Parents support in babysitting for working couples

Health care support to aging parents and vice-versa

Coherent family decision making

Ease of shared household duties

Generations learning from each other

Multi-generational Household Issues:

Demanding and egocentric behaviour

Dependency and interference

Misunderstanding and disrespect among family members

Financial burden due to lack of proper household income

Mental distress and anxiety

It is concluded that effective planning, open communication, understanding, the appropriate use of support services, and Aromatherapy, can reduce stress problems in multi-generational families.

Aromatherapy  is the science and art of using medicinal qualities of Essential Oils extracted  from different parts of plants, which can reduce stress, increase contentment, relaxation, and decrease levels of cortisol, the “stress hormone.” Below are some of the Essential Oils best recommended for the relief of tension and stress in diffuser or apply topically with proper dilution or direct inhalation or in massage or in bath:

Lavender, Ylang-Ylang, Bergamot, Chamomile, Vetiver, Rose, Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Geranium, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Cedarwood
