Scent Stones!

Scent Stones are a fun, inexpensive way to use your essential oils in a new and unexpected way. They only require two ingredients and can be completed in less than an hour! A handful of scent stones in a pretty jar or bag with a 5 ml of YL essential oil makes a perfect stocking stuffer gift. I buy extra Everyday Oil kits just so I have the 5 ml bottles on hand.

Mix:

1 box (16 oz.) of baking soda

1/2 cup water

This will form a very thick paste. If it is still dry, add additional water 1 teaspoon at a time until you have incorporated all the dry baking soda into the mixture. Using two spoons or a small ice cream scoop, fill a decorative silicone mold (metal will not work) 3/4 full with the baking soda mixture. Tap the mold on a counter to let the mixture settle evenly. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Allow the scent stones to cool completely before unmolding. 

When you are ready to use them, place 6-10 drops of essential oil on the stone. Heres a few of my favorite uses for my Scent Stones.

-Place one on the bottom of a steamy shower. Jade lemon is my favorite for this. It’s the perfect way to wake up.

-Place a few drops of Purification on a scent stone and toss it into the washer with a stinky load of wash. Perfect if you have a fisherman in your life!

-Place a stone in a decorative organza bag and use as a sachet in your lingerie drawer. Lavender is always nice. 

-A few drops of Purification on a couple of scent stones placed in a stinky pair of shoes freshens them up in no time. 

10 drops of Citrus Fresh on a scent stone placed under the seat of your vehicle makes a great air freshener. 

-Place a scent stone on a pretty dish in the bathroom or kitchen to keep the space smelling fresh. Some holiday favorites are cinnamon bark, clove, ginger, Christmas Spirit or Evergreen Essence. 

-For a child with an upset stomach place a scent stone in a cup with a drop or two of Peppermint or AromaEase. They love having their own little inhalation cup. 

-A few drops of Purification on a scent stone placed in the bottom of a garbage can works wonders!

-For stuffy sinuses place a few drops of Eucalyptus and Lavender on a scent stone and place on the floor of a hot steamy show. Inhale deeply and enjoy some relief.

-A scent stone with a few drops of oils of your choice plus a 1/4 cup of Epsom salt makes a delightful foot soak.
