We thought our Dreamy Lavender Room Spray was great as a room spray...but you, our marvelous moonies, have told us that there is so much more you can use it for.

Here are 7 of those ideas... what do you think?

At moon haven we are constantly asked for ideas on what essential oil or products to use for different illnesses, conditions and ailments. We love it that we can often help provide natural solutions to common issues faced by our moonie families.

So I've put together a simple 30 minute (it may go a little longer) info session/workshop where i go through my own natural first aid kit.

This blend is wonderful for diffusing into the air when illness invades your home.

The eucalyptus is a wonderful disinfectant while the lemon and peppermint oils will help uplift the spirits and assist with dealing with any nausea.

Every household could do with a jar of this amazing all purpose herbal ointment created and made right here at moon haven for 20 plus years..

Many of our moonies have called it a "First Aid Kit in a Jar" and their kids call it "Magic Cream" it's that good. It's fantastic for all of life's little boos boos.  Small cuts, nicks, insect bites even for rashes, colds sores and spots.

With so many essential oils offering wonderful antiseptic properties there are a myriad of blends and concoctions that you can use to help cleanse and soothe these simple wounds. 

If the wound is minor then try this simple recipe to make a very effective antiseptic wash.

Moon Haven was born out of my appreciation of the natural world and my drive to share what I had learned.

So for me the study and use of essential oils is not a past time but something I cannot live without.

We are often asked which essential oils we'd recommend to someone starting out in Aromatherapy.

If you're wanting to give aromatherapy a try then we've put together these 8 oils  as the ideal essential oil  starter kit.

Week End Wind Down Bathing Blend

Ylang Ylang is known for its blood pressure and relaxation properties

Patchouli has long been used to assist with your inner child and self

Bergamot is a well knon mood lifter and soother while lavender is the universal relaxer.

As we all know oil and water DON'T mix - without a little help from a friend.

The friend in this case comes from a family of ingredients called solubilisers.These substances help oils, including essential oils to dissolve in water.

You can make all sorts of water based products like room sprays, skin toners, facial mists, hair mists and detanglers as well as making a bath essential oil concentrate.
