The Scents of Fall Bring us Home
There’s something about Cinnamon, Clove and Nutmeg that remind us of the very essence of nature and also that pumpkin pie we enjoy during the holidays. Pumpkin Spice has become so popular that the food industry has found hundreds of ways to incorporate it into our food. Trader Joe’s has about 60 items labeled as “Pumpkin” something or other. We love the scent; we love the taste and now you can have a very similar aroma beautify your home the most natural way – with 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils by doTERRA. There are many oils that can be used for Fall scents. Some of the most popular are Cinnamon, Clove, Wild Orange, Patchouli, White Fir, Douglas Fir, Cypress and Ginger. There are many different variations in which you can discover an essential oil blend that complements this season.
Here is what I used for this Autumn Essential Oil blend:
1 glass roll on bottle
6 drops Wild Orange essential oil
2 drops Patchouli essential oil
2 drops Cinnamon essential oil
2 drop Clove essential oil
Fractionated Coconut Oil – poured to fill the rest of the bottle
Pour drops into the bottle; add FCO, cap with roller ball top, screw top and shake to mix well.
Roll on your wrists. Yoga teachers – use at the end of class for Savasana. Diffuse in the air into any room.
