Creating Aromatherapy Sachets to Increase Wellness

Aromatherapy is a fantastic and easy way to improve the mood and ambiance in a private residence or in an assisted living facility. It has been known to either calm the mood with lavender, geranium, or ylang ylang or can spark focus and productivity with rosemary, peppermint or eucalyptus.  If you don't have the budget for essential oils and a diffuser, this is a simple and inexpensive way to share the benefits of aromatherapy.  Here is a simple way to use the fragrant flowers from your garden to mimic the same aromatic effects!

Step 1: Get an organza bag with a ribbon tie in a color you love.

Step 2: Gather fragrant rose petals, lavender, eucalyptus leaves, and anything else you enjoy from your garden.

Step 3: Place the scented leaves and petals in the pouch and tie securely.

This is a wonderful project to complete with residents in an assisted living, or even with your family and children. Making these scented sachets are easy and fun, and can be stored at the bedside to use when anxiety or frustration surface.  You can change the filling as the seasons change, or as the petals become less scented over time.  Make sure to enjoy this activity with a friend or loved one!

Finish and enjoy! Share with a friend!
