Well Being Week May 2014
As part of Well Being Week the library is showcasing essential oils as an aid to:
- improve memory concentration when studying.
- help to alleviate stress.
- assist with relaxation and getting a good nights sleep.
Come into the Library during Well Being Week and pick up a bookmark with recipes for oil blends. We will have sprays and oil burners operating over the week, so have a sniff when you come in. It might improve your concentration.
Visit our PascoLibrary 
Pinterest page to find some sweet smelling links to help you study, relax or get a good nights sleep.
There are many ways to use essential oils:
In the bath.
On a handkerchief.
On your pillow.
In an oil burner or on diffusing skewers.
Mixed with a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond oil) and used in massage.
In a bowl of hot water – cover your head with a towel and hold over the bowl.
As an ingredient in a scented candle.
As a spray. (See recipe below for a relaxation blend.)
Air Sweetner Spray
1 tspn bergamont oil, 1 tspn lavender oil, 1 tspn lemon oil, 1 tspn rose oil, 50 drops cinnamon oil, 20 drops clove oil
Mix all the oils in a 25ml bottle. Shake well. Leave for 4 days. Add 1 tspn of the oil blend to a spray bottle about 250 ml in size. Top up with water. Shake well before use. Do not spray on polished furniture.
Aromatherapy for Pet Care
Peppermint oil is also useful for pet care. It repels fleas, so a spray containing peppermint oil can be used on pet bedding, in kennels and on pets to control fleas. Some pet shampoos also contain pennyroyal mint, which has the same properties.
Watch this You Tube clip to find out how to make a simple spray.
