If you live somewhere in the world that experiences a spring, you mostly likely look forward to this time of warmer weather, renewing rains, and longer days. With it comes a sense of renewed energy and an excitement to be outside. Be ready to enjoy this balmy season with essential oils in hand.
Spring Cleaning
It’s an almost irresistible urge in spring to make everything fresh and clean—both outside and in our homes. To add a boost to your natural cleaning products, you can include citrus essential oils like Lemon or Wild Orange to give your home a refresh. Thyme and Basil are other excellent options for cleaning surfaces safely. An added benefit of Thyme is that diffusing it purifies the air. Other oils that purify the air in your home include Wild Orange, Arborvitae, and Juniper Berry.
Not only useful during the winter, doTERRA On Guard® is also an excellent, non-toxic choice for cleaning surfaces that come in contact with food. If you don’t want to make your own cleaner, doTERRA On Guard is included in cleaning products doTERRA offers like the doTERRA On Guard Cleaner Concentrate, and the doTERRA On Guard Laundry Detergent.
‘Tis the Season
With the milder weather and the newly green earth, comes the greater chance of environmental or seasonal threats. Five specific oils and products can help you:
- Arborvitae.
This little-known oil is quite the powerhouse during the changing
seasons. Add to your diffuser, or put a few drops in your palms and cup
your hands around your nose. Inhale deeply as needed.
- Lavender.
Support how your immune system functions and how your body responds to
seasonal threats by taking up to two drops internally in a veggie
capsule.*
- Tea Tree (Melaleuca).
Thanks to the natural purifying and cleansing properties of Tea Tree,
it is a helpful ally in combating environmental threats in the home. Add
to homemade cleaners to purify surface or to your diffuser for the
refreshing scent to fill the room.
- doTERRA Breathe®. Apply to your chest before going outside to do yardwork, or exercise.
- TriEase® Softgels. The perfect combination of Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint oils, TriEase helps protect your body from the environmental or seasonal elements you might face in the great outdoors.* Take one to two pills per day as needed.
While spring is already one of our favorite times of year, essential oils empower us to make any season more enjoyable. Try out some of these ideas and let us know how it goes!
