Spring Cleaning with Essential Oils

Lemon and Eucalyptus Essential Oils are two favorites. These oils are great additions to your essential oil collect! This easy all-purpose cleaning spray is a great way to clean your home with non-toxic ingredients while also reaping the benefits of essential oils while you clean!

Eucalyptus globulus has a fresh scent. It contains a high percentage of the constituent eucalyptol, a key ingredient in many mouth rinses. Applied topically, it is often used to support the respiratory system* and to soothe muscles after exercise. Eucalyptus Globulus has an approximate ORAC of 24,157 (TE/L).

Practical Tip: Mix a few drops of Eucalyptus globulus with a teaspoon of coconut oil to make a soothing chest rub to support a healthy respiratory system.

Lemon essential oil is cold-pressed from the rinds of lemons, giving its aroma all the brightness of the freshly picked fruit. Cheerful, sweet, and nostalgic, Lemon oil can eliminate odors and infuse your whole home with its clean, lemon-drop scent when diffused.

Practical Tip: Lemon oil benefits skin and hair. Your teens can add a drop to their evening moisturizer to reduce the appearance of blemishes, while you can add it to your conditioner for an aromatic treat that smoothes and shines the look of your hair.

Important Note: Because citrus oils like Lemon can cause photosensitivity, avoid applying to exposed skin before spending time outside.

Lemon oil uses:

Boost your home cleaning with the cheerful scent of fresh Lemons! Add a few drops to naturally derived floor, window, and surface cleaning solutions. Do not use Lemon oil on granite or stone, as it may etch the surface.
Make Lemon part of your beauty routine, adding it to skin care products to reduce the appearance of blemishes or to conditioner and DIY hair masques to give your hair a smoother, shinier look.
Diffuse Lemon alone or with other citrus and crisp-smelling oils such as Tangerine, Grapefruit, Orange, Bergamot, Rosemary, Tea Tree, Tarragon, and Eucalyptus Radiata to create an aromatic environment that is clean-smelling and positive.
