Oil Spotlight: Citrus Fresh
Citrus Fresh essential oil blend combines Orange, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Tangerine, and Lemon with a touch of Spearmint for a bright and refreshing scent. This oil is good for everything from cleaning to diffusing to skincare and DIYs!
JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND:
Citrus oils are cold-pressed from the rind of the fruit, making them alkaline and full of wonderful scent and flavor. Because it is composed of citrus oils, Citrus Fresh is a great source of antioxidants and the constituent limonene, which has some wonderful health-supporting properties. This blend is also great for the respiratory and immune systems! Add it to your wellness roller and DIY chest rub, especially if you are out of your other favorites (and it’s budget friendly).
DID YOU KNOW?
Citrus Fresh is amazing at supporting emotions! With the state of the world right now, I think we could ALL use a bit of emotional support. Citrus Fresh might be one of the most overlooked emotional support oils. Because this blend combines multiple citrus oils with a hint of mint, it is a great choice for stimulating the right side of the brain. When we are consumed with worry, stress or suffer from analysis paralysis, the right side of the brain is less active. Inhaling Citrus Fresh, getting calm and quiet, allowing the emotions and processing them can help us move out of that place of stuckness! Also, because Citrus Fresh contains limonene, it has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals cause physical stress, and when we lower that physical stress burden our emotions benefit as well!
