Creating Aromatherapy Sachets to Increase Wellness

3/11/2016

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!


Organza bag in light purple for aromatherapy pouches
Step 1: Get an organza bag with a ribbon tie in a color you love.
Organza bag to be filled with fresh or dried rose pedals, and lavender for aromatherapy
Step 2: Gather fragrant rose petals, lavender, eucalyptus leaves, and anything else you enjoy from your garden.
Organza bag is stuffed with fresh or dried aromatherapy scents like flowers or herbs
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!
Organza bags are finished when they are stuffed with aromatherapy scents and are tied tightly for safety
Finish and enjoy! Share with a friend!
