Since incense makes me sneeze, I’ve been resorting to a different method of cleansing lately - steam cleansing! It’s exactly what it sounds like, using steam to cleanse your space.
- A pot, to be used for boiling water
- Essential oils of your choice (about 50 drops total)
- Water
- Add about 2 cups of water to your pot depending upon how large it is
- Otherwise, just fill the pot about halfway with water
- Add 50 drops of whichever essential oils you choose
- Turn on your stove, and let the water boil
- You should start to smell the essential oils throughout your house in very little time
- When the water has almost completely evaporated, turn your stove off
- Let the pot cool down and proceed to wash it as you would usually do with your dishes
- The scent tends to linger all day, if not longer
- Repeat as necessary :)
- Anise
- Camphor
- Cedarwood
- Citrus oils (bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, lemongrass, lime, orange, tangerine)
- Dragon’s Blood
- Hyssop
- Lavender
- Oregano
- Peppermint
- Pine
- Rosemary
- Sage
- Sandalwood
- Spearmint
- Thyme
