Aromatherapy For Your Walls

For a relaxing retreat try making a scented wax paste to seal your beautiful wall finishes. Beeswax offers a warm patina and a durable finish.

Place 2 oz. of beeswax in a low glass jar. Place the jar in a pan of hot water over a low heat. After the wax has melted, remove the jar from the pan and stir in 3 oz. of natural citrus thinner. After this is well mixed, gently stir in ¼ tsp. of aroma-therapeutic oil such as rosemary, lavender, or peppermint. Set the mixture aside to cool to a wax paste. Apply the wax with a lint-free cloth and buff to a beautiful patina.

Caution: wax is flammable, heat over a low flame; also, keep the room well ventilated when pouring the natural citrus thinner into the melted wax.

Enjoy your peaceful space!
