Sleep Better with Aloe Plants:
An aloe plant can raise the oxygen levels in your home. It can also absorb carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and formaldehyde. Just one aloe plant can achieve what nine biological air purifiers can do. Putting an aloe plant on your nightstand releases oxygen while absorbing carbon dioxide from the air around the bed, thereby boosting nighttime oxygen levels. It may increase your time in restorative, slow-wave sleep.

Make Your Own Window Cleaner:
Put 2 cups of water, half a cup of distilled vinegar, and ten drops of essential oil (lemon, orange, or grapefruit oil smells nice) in a spray bottle and shake before spraying.

Polish Wood Furniture with Lemons:
Many furniture polishes contain harsh solvents that can damage wood surfaces. Luckily, you can get dull wood looking new with an all-natural cleaner popular with boutique hotel housekeepers. Simply add two parts olive oil and one part lemon juice to a jar and shake to combine. Dip a dry cloth in the solution and rub it into the furniture, going with the grain. The olive oil moisturizes wood, while the lemon lifts dirt. Then, buff it with a clean cloth.

How to Ease Sunburns:
Oops, you were out in the sun too long…Ease the burn with lavender spray. It’s a perfect antiseptic and cooling herb. Fill an 8-ounce spray bottle with cold water and add six drops of lavender essential oil. Shake well, and spray on the sunburn for soothing relief.
