DIY Aromatherapy Shower Sprays

Despite the name, these aromatherapy sprays aren’t just for the shower. Feel free to use them to cleanse the energy in your home, as a pillow spray for a good night’s sleep, as yoga mat cleaner, or simply as an air freshener when things start to feel stale.

If giving as gifts, add a few dried flowers to the bottle, and label it with a chalk marker.
To use, wait until the bathroom gets nice and steamy, then shake the bottle well and spray liberally just before hopping in.
Always store your shower sprays in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Make a fresh spray every 2 weeks.
