I use one of those little oil burners (you know, the things with a cup

containing water and essential oils heated gently over a candle), and here are

some of my favorite blends for creating different moods and effects. Please use only true essential oils, they smell so much better and have true therapeutic effects. Also, the fakes usually smell awful and leave nasty lingering scents in your burner.

Mind and Air Freshener: 2 drops Rosemary, 2 drops Cedarwood, 2 drops Lemon. Creates a nice fresh scent that gets rid of odors and is quite masculine.

Another Mind Refresher: 2 drops Rosemary, 2 drops Juniper, 1 drop Lemon. Like deep breaths of fresh air.

Cheer-up Oil: 2 drops Geranium, 3 drops Bergamot. This is a flowery, cheering

blend to balance the emotions. If you don't mind using expensive oils you can

add 2 drops Rose.

Headache Remover: 3 drops Lavender, 3 drops Marjoram.

Sleep Oil: 1 drop Lavender, 1 drop Marjoram, 1 drop Sandalwood, 2 drops Clary Sage. A lot of people find this scent mildly unpleasant, so you could add

something like neroli or chamomile to sweeten it. I like it, but then I really

like clary sage oil.

Expensive Sleep Oil: 2 drops Chamomile, 2 drops Rose, 1 drop Marjoram.

Romantic Blend: 2 drops Grapefruit, 2 drops Rose Geranium, 2 drops Patchouli, 1 drop Lavender. This is a very musky, heavy floral blend.

Antibacterial Blend: Equal amounts Lemon and Tea Tree. I use this in an oil

burner and also add some to water for an air spray. It smells fresh and pleasant as well as fighting nasties in the air, and has good room deodorizing qualities as well.
