Ready to refresh your home for spring? Read on as we share our favourite essential oils for spring and some of our favourite ways to use them.
Spring Cleaning with Lemon Essential Oil
The spring season is the perfect opportunity to do some spring cleaning! Instead of using chemical cleaners, lemon essential oil is a wonderful (and effective) ingredient for toxin-free cleaning.
Not only does lemon oil have a fresh, zesty scent, it also boasts natural antibacterial properties that can assist with purifying your living spaces. Try adding a few drops of lemon oil to a mixture of water and vinegar to create a multipurpose surface spray that will leave your home smelling as clean as it looks.
Uplift Your Mood with Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender essential oil is our go-to for relaxation, stress relief and improved mood. Diffusing lavender oil throughout your home will create a calming atmosphere that encourages tranquility and balance. You can also try adding a few drops to your evening bath or on your pillow to enhance your sleep quality - ensuring you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to embrace the spring season!
Add a Floral Fragrance with Geranium Oil
Make your home feel like spring with geranium oil! With a sweet and uplifting aroma, this beautiful scent will add the perfect floral fragrance to your environment. Geranium oil also helps to combat feelings of anxiety and tension, making it a great choice for those needing some emotional support during the transition between seasons.
