Citrus essential oils include orange (i.e. sweet orange), lemon, grapefruit, lime, blood orange, mandarin, tangerine, and bergamot. The smell of citrus fruits are uplifting, happy, and refreshing! They can help prevent colds/flu (support immunity), and also reduce nausea and stress.*
Natural citrus air freshener recipes from essential oils are another beneficial use of citrus oils. Get rid of those chemical-laden commercial air fresheners that can irritate the eyes, throat, and lungs, and cause allergic reactions that result in watery eyes, sneezing, and even asthma attacks!
Another incredible benefit is that these air fresheners don’t just mask odors…they actually eliminate them while leaving behind a fresh, clean fragrance that uplifts your spirits!*
Try one or more of these cost-effective natural citrus air freshener recipes from essential oils. Mix up one of each recipe and keep a bottle in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and bedroom!
These recipes are so simple! Put 4 ounces of purified water in a misting spray bottle, add the oils, tighten the cap, shake well, and spray. The scent will become stronger the longer it is in the bottle.
