My friend Mag always smells so lusciously sweet and spicy, but when I asked her what perfume she uses, she laughed and said, “Oh, I make it myself. Artificial scents make me feel sick, so I don’t go near them. Instead I use natural ingredients- -and it’s really cheap and easy.” This all sounded pretty fabulous to me. We came up with these terrific all-natural cologne recipes for every type, whether you are a flowery romantic, a crisp sporty, or a spicy earthy-exotic- -and they make great gifts, too.

All citrus oils are well known for their stimulating properties, and for uplifting the mood. With cold and flu season still upon us, here’s a recipe to stimulate the Immune System, especially for children.

Pour 30 mls of Carrier Oil such as sweet Almond, emu, Grapeseed, or Evening Primrose into a smaller container. Add to it 5 drops of Orange, 5 drops of Grapefruit, and 5 drops of Lavender. Massage into the skin, including the feet and legs. Also add 3 drops of the mixture to a Diffuser. For adults, double the amount of each essential oil to 10 drops.

For lung congestion a salve or a massage oil containing essential oils can be rubbed over the chest, back and throat. The oils will be absorbed through the skin and lungs as the vapor is inhaled. Place a flannel fabric on the chest after rubbing in the oil to increase warmth. Commercial “vapor balms” still use derivatives of essential oils (or their synthetic-oil counterparts), such as thymol from Thyme and Menthol from Mint, in a petroleum ointment base. Natural alternatives are also sold in natural-food stores.

The urinary system, consisting of the Kidneys and bladder, regulates the body’s water content and salt balance, and eliminates waste. The kidney determines what will be eliminated and what will be recycled. It is also involved in regulating blood pressure.

Antiseptic diuretics to treat Bladder Infections include Cedarwood, Tea Tree, Bergamot and Fennel. Unlike some urinary herbs used to treat infection, such as Uva Ursi, these essential oils work well in both an acid and an alkaline environment. This means that they can be used in conjunction with Cranberries, which acidify the urine. Use these oils preventively in a regular bath or a sitz bath.
