Long before modern air fresheners, herbal remedies, and essential oils, our grandmothers relied on simple, natural ingredients to uplift the home, support health, and create a cozy atmosphere. Among these, boiling orange peels with cloves was a favorite tradition, cherished for its aroma, warmth, and subtle therapeutic benefits.

Their natural oils release a refreshing, citrus aroma when boiled, believed to energize the mind and uplift mood.
Traditionally, simmering orange peels was thought to purify the air and gently repel insects.
Cloves – A Spice with History and Healing Power
