Howdy Everyone!
If you are new, Sunflower Naturals has been online since August 16th of 2004. The site has been through a lot of changes over the years, with the best yet to come...

Although it is cold outside, please remember to air out your living space at least once a week. A quick walkthrough while opening windows and then walk back around and close them again is enough to keep the air fresh and far less toxic.

TIP to beat the chill: Fill an old fashioned hot water bottle with very hot water and wrap in a cotton towel or flannel pillowcase. Tuck that snuggly bottle of warmth under the covers and enjoy :o) Give it a try - you'll be amazed at how well it works. Oh, occasionally the hot water will melt the seal between the plastic and rubber shell. Prevent leaking by tightening a zip tie around the neck of the water bottle.

I'm working on a new website that will be easily viewed with a variety of different devices. In addition, I'll be adding a lot of content over the weeks ahead. Some old articles for reference material and a lot of new stuff.

Weekly Recipe: Ahh, Green Winter Air Fragrances As most of you already know, switching from conventional petroleum-based cleaning products and air fragrances is the most important first step to cleaner, healthier air. If you miss the fragrances, I can totally understand and agree. Air with no fragrances is bland and boring. Winter air can be spruced up with essential oils. In addition to adding fragrance, use oils such as lemon for increasing energy, lavender for relaxing in the living room and maybe sandalwood or jasmine in the bedroom for creating a bit more romantic ambiance. Room fragrance sprays are ridiculously easy to make. Fill a spray bottle 1/2 full of plain water. Add plain white vinegar to fill the bottle about 3/4 full. Add preferred essential oils one or two drops at a time. Only three to five drops are needed per batch. It will be strong enough without being overpowering. Cap and shake the bottle after each addition. You'll know when you have it just right. CAUTION: When mixing do NOT use your thumb to cover the bottle to shake after each addition. USE THE CAP for the bottle. Essential oils are extremely strong and can cause severe burns. Yes, I have done this and burned my thumb pretty bad.
