Lavender essential oil is often used for therapeutic treatment of headaches, anxiety and restlessness.

Paired with the clean, cool and crisp aroma of peppermint essential oil, you too can enjoy the benefits that both have to offer when it comes to freshening the air and promoting a calm and relaxing environment.

These rice air fresheners work wonderfully in the bathroom or car. If used in the car, place a jar underneath the driver seat or in cup holder.

I have found that the scent in these homemade air fresheners lasts for 2-3 weeks. If you feel as if the scent is fading just give the jar a quick shake or replenish with a few drops of the lavender and peppermint essential oils.
