Transform your spring cleaning into a holistic experience with aromatherapy. Gone are the days when the only way to achieve a spotless home was through harsh chemicals. Discover how essential oils can brighten your living spaces but also nurture wellness within your walls.
The Basics of Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is an age-old practice that uses natural plant extracts, specifically essential oils, to promote health and well-being. These concentrated essences carry the healing properties of the plants they are derived from and can be powerful tools for home purification.
True Lavender : The Most Versatile Essential Oil
Known for its calming scent and originating from the mountains of Provence, lavender is a pillar of aromatherapy. However, its advantages extend beyond just soothing properties. Our ESSENCIA True Lavender Essential Oil is perfect for purifying any space ! Clean the air in your home by adding 6 to 10 drops in a diffuser, and keep your clothes smelling fresh by adding a few drops onto a piece of fabric tucked into your wardrobe or drawers. You can also beat fridge odors by combining a drop of lavender and lemon essential oil with baking soda.
Lemon: The Path to cleanliness
When diffused, our ESSENCIA Lemon Essential Oil acts as an atmospheric antiseptic, bringing a sparkling scent to your home. Blend ten drops with warm water and white vinegar for a DIY all-purpose cleaner. This mixture is a natural ally against grime and keeps your living area fresh and sanitized.

Using Aromatherapy safely at home
Essential oils are natural and must be used wisely. Always dilute according to guidelines, especially when using on surfaces. Consider pet safety—some oils might not suit your furry friends—and always store your oils out of direct sunlight.
