Freshen Up Your Space: How to Make a Simple Natural Air Freshener

Sure, it's easy to buy chemical air fresheners at any store, but while they smell nice, they often contain unhealthy and even toxic ingredients.

If you're searching for a healthy alternative, you'll be pleasantly surprised to learn how simple it is to make your own with accessible, natural ingredients. One of the key components is essential oil. If you don't have any at home, now's the time to go and buy at least one.

Ingredients for a Natural Air Freshener that’s good for a large room:

• 2 tablespoons of baking soda
• A dash of cinnamon
• 8 drops of essential oil of your choice. Recommended: eucalyptus, lavender, orange, or tea tree.

Each one offers different benefits: lavender calms, tea tree and eucalyptus disinfect and purify, while orange also uplifts and energizes the mood. You can read more about the uses and health advantages of essential oils here.

How to make it (it doesn't get easier than this):

In a small jar, mix the baking soda with cinnamon and essential oil. Place it in the desired room and enjoy the wonderful aroma. To turn it into a closet freshener, add a bit of water, roll into a ball, and once dry, place it in a closet or drawer.

Good luck!
