GLASS BOTTLES

People have been inquiring about the composition of these exquisite glass bottles. I'll commence with the Violet Water. It is used to purge negative energy. You can use this herb to cleanse yourself in the bath by pouring it into the water. It could be used as perfume as well. Gardenia water attracts good spirits, positive feelings, healing, and spirituality. You might also use this remedy to clear negative energy. Rose water can attract love, protection, psychic connection, and healing. The liquid can also serve as a facial toner. Orange water is believed to promote positive health and fortune. It might also be used as a perfume.

If you want to make your scented water recipe...

Soak the herbs in alcohol, filter them, and then add distilled water to make a tincture, or prepare an alcohol/water mixture and add essential oils. I usually use vodka. You can use brandy or whiskey, but I prefer vodka.

Vodka should comprise between 1/4 and 1/8 of the vodka/water combination. Only approximately 7-15 drops of oil should be applied to a 3-4 oz. Amount found at craft stores; otherwise, it will be highly overpowering. Ick!

Choose your essential oils, fill the glass vial about 1/4 full of alcohol, and then add a few drops at a time. Close and shake the vial after combining the oils. Once satisfied with your oil combination, add distilled water to within 1/2" of the top or less to prevent splashing, and store in a dark area overnight. MAX.

The maturation of the blend can take up to a week. Always shake the vial before administering it. It is important to note that adding alcohol makes it last! (Those under the age of 21) Go to an herb shop that sells a "perfume base," which contains wood alcohol, glycerin, preservatives, and water.

Have fun!
