How To Make Plant Perfumes ? 💮

Are you as sensitive to regular, conventional perfume as I am? I literally start to sneeze whenever I catch a whiff of it. Even if it smells nice, it's as if my body knows it's all artificial and reacts to it. My nose has always been this way, even before I knew what the term “ green beauty ” meant. I guess it was just destiny (and a sensitive nose) that led me to more natural, greener beauty options. Instead of spraying myself with a bunch of artificial scents that incite an allergy attack, I prefer these  plant perfumes  instead. Sometimes I'll use  floral waters  (rose water is my favorite) when I'm in a pinch, but naturally made plant perfumes are stronger and have a longer lasting scent.  Plant perfumes don't require many ingredients, and they are really easy to make at home. In fact, they're even fun to make with kids. It's a great activity to do alone, or with a friend. I recommend hitting up a thrift shop...

As an added bonus, its practice isn’t limited to beings of the female variety. In fact, it’s not limited to anyone at all. You don’t have to be female, crunchy, green, hip, square, a yogi, a hippie, or an MD. You just have to breathe.

This is a practice that dates back thousands of years, having roots in Yogic/Vedic philosophy and Chinese Medicine, and has been re-designed and popularized in the western world by Dr.Andrew Weil , a Harvard-trained biomedical p...
