4 Benefits of Citrus Essential Oils

4 Benefits of Citrus Essential Oils

Everyone loves the smell of tantalizing, fresh oranges. Lime adds a ZING! of energy and brightness to anything it touches. And without lemons, we’d have no lemonade! What’s summer without lemonade?

Citrus fruits are clearly beloved across the world. Did you know that these fruits are also used to make some of the best essential oils for your home and natural wellness goals?


Use Lemon Oil to make an all-natural cleaning solution

Lemon oil is a great disinfectant! Mix this oil with tea tree oil (another great antiseptic oil), a little white vinegar, and water to create a surface cleaner that gets the job done AND smells great. Here’s a recipe: 20 drops lemon oil + 10 drops tea tree oil + dash of white vinegar + 8 oz water. Add to a glass spray bottle and shake gently.

Use any combination of Citrus Oils for a happy, energized scent

Citrus oils smell great together and elicit feelings of sunshine, joy, and relaxation! Soak up the Vitamin C vibes by blending a few citrus oils together in your diffuser at the same time, or spritzing a little in the air during a relaxing bath or shower.

Use Orange Oil to aid an upset stomach

If you’re nauseous, reach for the Orange Oil! Apply a few drops to your stomach and rub in a clockwise motion. (Peppermint Oil is also great for tummy trouble and blends well with Orange. Combine the two if you’d like an added cooling sensation!)

Blend Citrus Oil with other oils to add a burst of energy or soften the scent

Since Citrus Oils are so similar to each other, most of them blend well with floral or clean scents. Try blending a few drops of Orange or Lemon Oil with Lavender, Eucalyptus, or Peppermint.

4 Tips for a Better Night’s Sleep

4 Tips for a Better Night’s Sleep

Do you struggle with insomnia? Do you have a hard time winding down at the end of the day? Looking for some great bedtime practices to help you relax? Here are four of our favorite tips to get a better night’s sleep.


Wind down for the evening with meditation

Pair deep breathing meditation exercises with gentle yoga poses to help calm your mind after a long day. Use a foam roller to stretch sore muscles. When you’re finished, make sure to clean your yoga mat so it’s free of bacteria. Our Eucalyptus + Lavender Yoga Mat cleaning spray is perfect for this! See this blog post for our favorite meditation tips.

Launder your sheets regularly

Keep your sheets and pillowcases soft and clean by washing them every one to two weeks. For a more eco-friendly dry, toss in a few wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets. You can even add a few drops of 100% Pure Eucalyptus Oil to each ball to give your sheets a fresh scent.

Turn off your screens half an hour before bedtime

The blue light from our phones, TVs, and tablets can delay the release of melatonin (the chemical that helps make us tired) in our bodies. Make sure to power down your devices at least half an hour before bedtime and read a book instead.

Use Lavender Oil to help you get sleepy

Lavender Oil is a family favorite for relaxation. It’s known for its sedative properties and its ability to relieve anxiety, making it the perfect choice for bedtime. Apply topically, inhale a few drops from your hands, or diffuse for best results. You can also spritz a little on your pillowcase. You can thank us later when you’ve had the best sleep of your life!

Top 3 Benefits of Lavender Oil

Top 3 Benefits of Lavender Oil

Lavender Oil is one of the most well-known essential oils in the world. And why wouldn’t it be? It smells like heaven on earth and is so versatile! Here are our top three favorite benefits of this amazing oil:

Lavender Oil has incredible therapeutic properties.

When used aromatically, Lavender Oil has been known to reduce feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression. Struggle with insomnia? Lavender Oil can help you with that too! Spritz a little in the shower or diffuse before bedtime to help your body naturally wind down and sink into a deep, relaxed sleep.

Lavender Oil is the perfect match for your beauty routine.

Did you know that Lavender Oil can be added to several of your beauty regimens to boost their effectiveness? Add a few drops to your mascara to naturally lengthen lashes or to your favorite facial moisturizer to bring the glow back to your skin and help reduce acne. You can even massage it into your scalp during a shower to restore hair health.

Lavender Oil is great for pain relief, especially tension headaches.

Many people swear by using Peppermint Oil for headaches and migraines. When applied topically, Peppermint Oil (blended with a carrier oil) gives a cooling effect and stimulates blood flow to the area and reduces inflammation. Adding just a couple drops of Lavender Oil to the Peppermint blend can produce a mild sedative effect, helping muscles and tension relax – which is what may have been causing the headache in the first place.
