3 Festive Room Spray Recipes for a Christmas Atmosphere

With the holiday season upon us, it’s time to get into the spirit. Nothing brings a sense of coziness like the smells of Christmas: cinnamon, pine, peppermint, orange, and wintergreen, to name a few. A fun way to bring the smell of the holidays into your home is with these easy DIY room sprays.

Avoid the temptation to buy commercial air fresheners. They often contain phthalates and other hazardous chemicals like benzene, formaldehyde, propellants, and solvents. These chemicals can be easily inhaled and absorbed by the skin, which is unhealthy!

Studies have shown that long-term exposure to these chemicals can damage the lungs, liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. Even though most air fresheners contain small amounts of these chemicals, low-dose exposure over time can be just as harmful as a higher dose. No thanks!

The good news is that with a few essential oils and other safe, easy-to-find ingredients, you can make your own custom festive room spray in less than five minutes.

Candy Cane Room Spray
– 16 oz. spray bottle
– 8 oz. distilled water
– 2 oz. vodka or gin
– 30 drops Plant Therapy Candy Cane Holiday Blend
– For a DIY version: 30 drops peppermint essential oil and 15 drops wintergreen essential oil

Christmas Tree Room Spray
– 16 oz. spray bottle
– 8 oz. distilled water
– 2 oz. vodka or gin
– 14 drops cinnamon essential oil
– 14 drops orange essential oil
– 20 drops pine scots essential oil

Comfy Sweater Room Spray
– 16 oz. spray bottle
– 8 oz. distilled water
– 2 oz. vodka or gin
– 25 drops eucalyptus essential oil
– 15 drops juniper berry essential oil
– 10 drops sage essential oil

Directions
For all of the above recipes, simply pour all the ingredients into your spray bottle and shake vigorously. Shake again each time before use.

In addition to smelling great, essential oil-based air fresheners provide the same benefits as diffusing essential oils. Mix and match your scent combinations all season long. These homemade air fresheners also make lovely DIY, natural gifts. Design a custom blend for friends and family this Christmas.
