Medicinal plants for home comfort

During house cleaning, instead of synthetic detergents, various aromatic oils of plant origin can be used. Thanks to this, your home will not only look clean, but also smell clean. Artificial air fresheners cannot provide this effect.

How to choose the right fragrance

In order to correctly select the oils that will be used during harvesting, you need to know the basic properties of certain plants. For example, lavender oil has a sedative and hypnotic effect, melissa aroma enhances such emotions and feelings like compassion, devotion, and eucalyptus and sage oil contribute to the expression of creativity. Pelargonium, or geranium, copes with a headache.

In addition, for cleaning you need to select only those oils whose aroma is pleasant for a particular person. Even if this or that extract is considered very beneficial for health, but its smell causes unpleasant sensations, it should definitely be excluded from your aroma complex.

It is also important not to overdo it with the use of one or another smell, even if it is very pleasant. It must be remembered that even a very weak, almost imperceptible aroma can affect a person.

Fragrance kicks out pests

The same geranium can be used not only as a fragrant healer, but also as a fighter against pests. The smell of geranium is unpleasant for flies and mosquitoes, and dried Caucasian chamomile allows you to get rid of cockroaches. Chamomile powder needs to be sprayed in places where there are a lot of these insects. It is valid for six months.

To get rid of the flying moth, powder from dried Caucasian chamomile, as well as leaves of walnut, tobacco, St. John's wort and wormwood, are also suitable. Whole leaves are laid out in cupboards and on shelves with clothes. Helps to cope with moths orange skin.

You can get rid of annoying ants with the help of garlic, onion and parsley.

The flour in which the pests are wound up becomes unusable. To avoid this, you need to put in a bag of flour a few cloves of garlic (peeled). At the same time, the flour does not absorb the garlic smell. Garlic also needs to be laid out on shelves in those places where other products are stored: cereals, pasta. It is enough to change it a couple of times a month.

It is possible to prevent the penetration of flies into the house with the help of bird cherry. This solution is suitable for those who live on the ground floors or in private homes. Bird cherry growing in front of the window will not only not let flies enter the house, but will also fill the room with a pleasant aroma. The same properties have a shrub tansy plant.

The smell of camphor and ledum helps fight mosquitoes. Ledum also easily copes with moths and fleas, including carpet. To do this, lay out the dried branches of rosemary on the largest possible floor area. Of course, you do not need to lay out the rosemary on the aisle, but near the furniture, under sofas and armchairs - a great place. You can also put dried grass under the litter on which the pet - flea peddler sleeps.

We make the atmosphere in the house safe

If the aromas are chosen correctly, then soon their beneficial effect will be noticeable: the house will become more comfortable, calmer, the number of discontent and quarrels between family members will decrease.

So, in order to bring order and comfort to the house, it is necessary to use not only household chemicals, but also natural means. It is not only useful, but also safe, especially for those family members who suffer from allergic reactions.
