6 Essential Aromatherapy products for this spring

The arrival of spring… the return of beautiful sunny days, flowers in bloom and birds singing. However, warm temperatures can also bring some typical spring discomforts, such as seasonal allergies, sleep disturbance and the consequences of our (small) winter excesses. 

How to remedy this? For an energized spring, count on aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy: its multiple virtues

Used for thousands of years in fields as varied as cooking and cosmetics, essential oils are at the heart of aromatherapy. This approach relies on the concentrated aromatic liquid of certain plants, wood, citrus fruits and resins for therapeutic purposes. 

Essential oils are versatile, and their many properties cover a wide spectrum of uses. For example, they are mostly known for their antibacterial and soothing properties. To maximize the efficiency of essential oils, the production of these precious liquids requires a large amount of raw material. On average, 35 kilograms of plants will produce only 1 L of essential oil, which explains why some pure oils can be quite expensive.

Relax with essential oils

Switching to the summer hour can disrupt our biological clock. This time can be difficult on our body and often leads to less restful sleep, fatigue, lack of attention and irritability. Our biological clock adapting to this change can cause a considerable amount of stress.

Our pure lavender essential oil can help you regain your calm and counter the effects of the time change on your body. The multiple beneficial properties of lavender help reduce stress and promote sleep. To enjoy all its benefits, spray lavender oil in your bedroom in the evening.

In addition to helping stimulate digestion, our sweet orange essential oil also has relaxing properties. The perfect ally to help you manage the stress of all your projects this spring.

If you lack energy because of built-up fatigue, our grapefruit essential oil can help restore your energy. With its stimulating properties and fruity smell that promote a good mood, you’ll understand why this oil is so appreciated.

Soothe allergy symptoms

In Quebec, 1 in 5 people suffer from allergies in the spring. Sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing, tiredness… All these symptoms can become heavy for anyone living with them. Since allergies are an inflammatory reaction, turning to antihistamine, anti-inflammatory and calming essential oils will help relieve some of these symptoms.

Chamomile essential oil acts on inflammation and our organic chamomile floral water can help calm it, as well as relieve itching skin and redness. On top of being relaxing, our lavender oil is also known for relieving nasal congestion and skin irritation (depending on the dosage) caused by allergies.

Spring, the perfect time for a detox

As the days get longer, the undesirable effects of long winter months unfortunately catch up with us. Our bodies can often feel heavy during winter, but the return of warm weather brings more lightness as nature offers us its best solutions through aromatherapy!

Our lemon essential oil will quickly find its place in your natural pharmacy! It can help you feel lighter thanks to its draining and digestive virtues, but it’s also an important ally for your liver, not to mention its delicious aroma.

To regain your vitality and cleanse your environment, try our bergamot and lemongrass room mist. Many virtues are attributed to verbena, such as helping to relieve sleep disorders and anxiety. Bergamot is also known for its spasmolytic and anxiolytic properties that help you stay calm. To use this mist, simply spray it in your home. Its lemony scent will freshen up your interior and contribute to your well-being!

Take advantage of all the benefits of essential oils

Diffusing essential oils in the air and applying them externally are the two safest ways to enjoy aromatherapy. In most cases, atmospheric diffusion is the best way to enjoy all their benefits. When spread inside your home, essential oils are absorbed through your airways. Diffusing them only for a few minutes a day is enough to take advantage of their benefits.

Essential oils can also be applied directly to your skin. Simply mix the essential oil of your choice with any vegetable oil before applying it. No matter how you decide to use your essential oil, always follow dosages and other indications.

 Aromatherapy is a great way to transition from winter to spring with serenity and in good spirits! In combination with exercise, avoiding things like caffeine and fostering calm for restful sleep, our essential oils will provide a relaxing environment to ensure that your transition to spring goes smoothly!
