Celebrating Citrus

Who doesn’t love the uplifting aroma released when you tear into a juicy orange? Wouldn’t you love to have that aroma available to you all day every day? Citrus essential oils are a great way to have that fresh, natural citrus scent at your fingertips.

These essential oils are versatile, uplifting, and some of the least expensive oils you can choose. If you are thinking about incorporating essential oils in your lifestyle, citrus oils are a great starting point!

Here are three of my favorite citrus essential oils as well as a few tips for using each.

Wild Orange

Inhaling the uplifting aroma of wild orange essential oils is a great way to naturally increase your energy and boost your mood.

Limonene is the main chemical constituent found in wild orange essential oil. Limonene is known to be a powerful degreaser making wild orange a great addition to your cleaning routine. Try this quick and easy all-purpose cleaning spray:

Mix these in a spray bottle (preferably glass). Spray on counters, appliances, etc., and wipe with a soft cloth. Using this spray with a microfiber cloth will make short work of any fingerprints on your stainless-steel appliances.

Grapefruit

The fresh scent of grapefruit essential oil can help you manage food cravings. Try diffusing grapefruit in the afternoon or evening before your snack cravings kick in to help support your healthy eating goals.

Grapefruit also has remarkably high levels of limonene, which may help reduce the appearance of blemishes. Try adding a drop of grapefruit essential oil to your nightly face routine. Be sure to avoid sun or UV exposure for at least 12 hours after applying citrus essential oils to your skin.

Bergamot

Bergamot has been referred to as the oil of self-acceptance. This uplifting scent shifts your energy from inadequacy to worthiness. Applying bergamot over your heart helps support your ability to show love to yourself.

Diffusing bergamot essential oil at bedtime can help you release the stress of the day and fall asleep easily. I love to add some frankincense and sandalwood to bergamot in the diffuser. This combination ensures I wake up well rested and prepared to face the new day.
