Scented Notes

Have you ever walked in to a room and been immediately transported to a time and place in the past simply because of a scent in the air? A certain perfume, aromas from the kitchen, wood smoke or the smell of a workshop. Scents and smells are often connected to memories, hopefully good ones, that make us feel at home.
We can use pleasing scents to cover bad odors or give ourselves, our home, our clothing or hair a fragrance that will be pleasing to others. We can even use aromatherapy to create moods or increase and maintain health.

How do you use scents to create a pleasing environment in your home....your car....near you? Here are some ideas we use in our home.

Essential Oils

Potpourri
Incense

Candles

Diffuser
Nebulizer

Aromatherapy

Smudge

Room Sprays

Refreshing powders

Perfumes

Herbal Soaps

and more...

As each topic goes live, the links above will be activated.

We'll be exploring and learning more about each of these techniques over the following months and sharing some tips, how-tos and applications...maybe even a guest post or two. I hope you'll join me as I share more tales from Scented Notes.

What The Woodwife's Journal is all about.

This is a journal about my quest for herbal healing, herbal & wild crafting, soapmaking, whole foods, repurposing and living a self sustaining life. Meant only to share information and personal experience but never as medical advice.

My mission is to encourage you to live closer to nature, share herbal ideas and information.

In His wisdom, God has blessed us with plants that provide a synergy of therapeutic benefits which work together to provide healing and protection to our bodies.

We strive to do all we can to formulate safe recipes for you, but we assume no responsibility for any harm that may result from the use of our products. All of our recipes have been tried and tested by family and friends to produce positive results that I feel comfortable sharing with you and customers request over and over again.

However, it is YOUR responsibility to use them wisely and at your own discretion, discontinuing use AT ONCE should any negative reactions develop and seeking medical help if needed.

While we value your safety, you should know that allergic reaction, skin irritation or other negative responses are always a possibility, both with natural and commercial products. *

These recipes, while safe for use with children in most cases, should be kept out of reach of children and/or pets and always used with adult supervision.

Any medicinal references mentioned here are strictly for educational purposes based on my research through study, empirical evidence, personal use and herbal lore but not considered to be comprehensive or exhaustive.

Hopefully anything you read here will encourage you to do your own research and speak with your health care professional to determine the situation before attempting to treat yourself or anyone else by alternative health practices and remedies.

Herbs (including the concentrated essential oils created from them) can be helpful allies in creating and maintaining good health but they can also be powerful medications that should be treated with respect. Used improperly, they can cause adverse reactions or interfere with pharmaceuticals.

Herbally yours,

The Woodwife

Gen. 1:29 And God said,”Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth...”

*As a side note: sometimes water and/or soap applied to an area of irritation can increase discomfort. Often, a carrier oil or milk will ease the problem.
