Germs are everywhere. They cover almost everything, and what’s worse is that we can’t see them. No one can ever know if they are carrying viruses or other types of bacteria. Naturally, handwashing is the best defense against them. However, outside, your best defense against colds and flu are hand sanitizers. With this DIY hand sanitizer spray recipe, you can create your own hand sanitizer and make sure your hands are clean without using harsh chemicals.
Essential oils are extracted from plants. The “essence” of a plant or certain parts of it is taken through either cold pressing or distillation. Essential oils have the same scent and other therapeutic properties of the plant they came from.
A popular way of using essential oils is through aromatherapy. This is because essential oils stimulate certain areas of the limbic system when inhaled, so emotions, bodily functions, and behaviors are affected.
Aromatherapy is a wonderful way to make your house smell great, but it also allows you to get the health benefits of essential oils.
Certain essential oils have antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiseptic properties. Some well-known essential oils with those qualities are:
When diffused with a nebulizing diffuser, these essential oils can sanitize surfaces in your house as well as deliver various health benefits to you and your family. However, as an ingredient in hand sanitizer, they must be diluted. These essential oils are highly potent substances that could irritate your skin, so make sure to follow this DIY hand sanitizer spray recipe properly.
Are you tired of having to read the tiny labels on hand sanitizers before you buy them? Once you have your own hand sanitizer spray, you don’t have to do that anymore. The other advantages of homemade hand sanitizer are the following:
This recipe should take you no longer than 10 minutes.
The Ingredients:
This recipe will make 2 ounces of hand sanitizer. You can make adjustments if you want to make a larger batch for your entire family.
Voila! Your hand sanitizer spray with essential oils is ready to go.
