This recipe combines essential oils, herbs, and natural ingredients to support your well-being throughout the year. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a seasonal healing spritz that aligns with nature’s rhythms.

Ingredients:

• Witch Hazel: Acts as the base, helping to blend the oils and support the skin.

• Essential Oils: Select oils based on the season for their healing properties. For example, lavender for spring, eucalyptus for summer, cinnamon for autumn, and frankincense for winter.

• Herbs: Use dried herbs or herbal extracts corresponding to the season. For instance, dandelion for spring, lemon balm for summer, sage for autumn, and valerian root for winter.

• Sea Salt: Helps to purify and balance energy.

Supplies:

• Small spray bottle (preferably glass)

• Measuring spoons

• Funnel (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Clean your area and gather all your ingredients. Set an intention for your spritz that aligns with the seasonal changes and your personal healing needs.

2. Combine the Base: Fill your spray bottle about 3/4 full with witch hazel. This will act as the carrier for your essential oils and sea salt.

3. Add Essential Oils:

   • Spring: Add 10-15 drops of lavender or rosemary essential oil for renewal and fresh energy.

   • Summer: Use 10-15 drops of eucalyptus or peppermint essential oil for clarity and cooling.

   • Autumn: Blend 10-15 drops of cinnamon or clove essential oil for grounding and warmth.

   • Winter: Choose 10-15 drops of frankincense or cedarwood essential oil for comfort and introspection.

4. Incorporate Sea Salt: Add 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt into the bottle to aid in purification and balance.

5. Infuse with Seasonal Herbs:

   • Spring: Crumble dried dandelion or nettle into the bottle.

   • Summer: Add dried rosemary or lemon balm.

   • Autumn: Include dried chamomile or sage.

   • Winter: Use ashwagandha or valerian root.

6. Mix and Shake: Secure the spray bottle and shake well to combine the ingredients. The witch hazel will help to mix the essential oils and salt evenly.

7. Set Your Intentions: Take a moment to focus on the healing energy you want to cultivate for the current season. Visualize the spritz enhancing your well-being and aligning with the natural cycle.

8. Use the Spritz: Lightly spray the mixture around your space or on yourself. Adjust the amount based on your preference and the intensity of the fragrance.

9. Store Properly: Keep your spritz in a cool, dark place to preserve its potency. Shake well before each use to ensure the ingredients are well combined.

Additional Tips:

• Seasonal Adjustments: Feel free to adjust the essential oils and herbs based on your personal preferences and the specific needs of each season.

• Ritual Integration: Incorporate the spritz into your seasonal rituals, such as during meditation or as part of a seasonal home cleansing.

This seasonal healing spritz not only supports your well-being but also helps you stay connected to the natural rhythms of the year, enhancing your overall sense of balance and harmony. Enjoy the process of creating and using your personalized spritz!
