Eucalyptus Radiata

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, Eucalyptus Radiata is for you. With a crisp, fresh, and cooling aroma, Eucalyptus Radiata helps open up the nasal passages, making breathing easier. This essential oil is especially helpful if your allergy symptoms cause sinus congestion, upper respiratory discomfort, or allergy-related headaches. 

Quick Tip: Place 2-3 drops of Eucalyptus on your shower floor. The shower's heat will vaporize the oil and help alleviate congestion and open up your airways. 

Lemon

This oil ranks as our favorite essential oil for cleaning! Not only does Lemon smell amazing, but it also has powerful purifying and disinfecting properties. Create your own DIY multi-surface cleaner with just 20 drops in a 2oz bottle of water, and your house will be sparkling and smelling fresh in no time! 

Dishwasher Hack: Add 1-2 drops of Lemon to the floor of your dishwasher to remove hard water spots

Citronella 

With warmer weather comes more bugs! Citronella is well-known for its powerful pest repellent properties. Citronella works by masking the human fragrances that insects like mosquitoes find appealing. You will want this herbal oil handy the next time you are adventuring outdoors!

Basil

Herbaceous and spicy, Basil essential oil is known for clearing mental clutter and sharpening focus. An underrated benefit of Basil is its ability to deter pests and bugs from eating your garden. Create a simple garden spray with 2oz of water and 30 drops of Basil essential oil. Spray on your plants to help keep your garden thriving. 

Ravintsara 

Crisp, fresh, and earthy, Ravintsara has potent cleansing and respiratory benefits. Similar in chemistry to Eucalyptus, Ravintsara is a milder option. Rich in 1,8-cineole, Ravintsara has anti-inflammatory properties as well as the ability to clear mucus and phlegm in your airways. 

Allergy Quick Tip: If you are struggling with congestion caused by seasonal allergies, try diffusing 5-10 drops of Ravinstara to help expel the mucus build-up

Bergamot FCF

With spring comes the desire to freshen and clean up your home. Bergamot is one of our favorite essential oils for household cleaning. With high levels of limonene, Bergamot is a powerful degreaser and surface purifier. Add this essential oil to your household cleaners to naturally clean away dirt and grime. 

Geranium

What is spring without florals?! Geranium essential oil is a must-have for this season because of its sweet, floral, and slightly earthy aroma, similar to rose. Use this popular essential oil in your diffuser to create an uplifting and energizing environment. Or add 1-2 drops of Geranium to your facial moisturizer to brighten and tone the skin. 

Tea Tree

Get your home sparkling in no time with the powerful cleaning properties of Tea Tree. One of the main constituents in Tea Tree is, Terpinen-4-ol. This compound has shown antibacterial and antiviral attributes. Use Tea Tree to clean mildew in your shower, expel unwanted odors, and keep your surfaces clean. 

Quick Tip: Stinky trash can? Add 2-3 drops of Tea Tree to a cotton ball and place it at the bottom of your garbage can to eliminate unwanted odors! 

Neroli

Distilled from fragrant orange blossoms, Neroli smells just as good as you can imagine! With a gentle floral and honey-like aroma, one inhale of Neroli will instantly brighten up your day. Diffuse or wear topically to elevate your state of mind and reduce stress levels. If you live in a dry environment, add Neroli to your skincare routine to help retain moisture in the skin. 

Lavender

We can’t have a spring essential oil list without Lavender. With so many versatile medicinal benefits, it is no wonder that Lavender is the most popular essential oil. The aroma of Lavender alone screams SPRINGTIME. If you get seasonal allergies, try using Lavender. One study concluded that Lavender helps prevent allergic inflammation as well as the enlargement of mucus cells.

Spring Cleaning Essential Oil Recipes 

Break out the brooms, mops, and trash bags – it’s time for Spring Cleaning! Instead of reaching for store-bought disinfectants loaded with harsh chemicals, make your own natural, safe DIY spray with a few simple ingredients! Essential oils like Lemon and Tea Tree have purifying properties that make them perfect for household cleaning. 

When choosing what kind of spray bottle to purchase for your DIY cleaning spray, we recommend using a dark-tinted glass bottle to protect the essential oils in the spray from sunshine. Another reason to use glass instead of plastic is that essential oils can corrode plastic over time, especially if they’re undiluted, damaging both the spray and the bottle.

Spring Cleaning Spray

  • 1 cup white vinegar 
  • 10 drops Lemon
  • 10 drops Tea Tree 
  • Glass Spray Bottle 

In your glass spray bottle, add the essential oils and white vinegar and shake well to combine. Spray on surfaces around your home like kitchen counters and bathroom sinks to easily wipe away grime, grease, and germs!
