Purify your home naturally!

The basics of aromatherapy 

Aromatherapy is an ancient practice based on the use of natural plant extracts, specifically essential oils, to promote health and well-being. These concentrated essences possess the healing properties of the plants from which they are derived and are powerful tools for purifying the home.

Pure Lavender: a versatile essential oil 

This plant, native to the mountains of Provence and known for its soothing fragrance, is a cornerstone of aromatherapy. However, its benefits extend far beyond its calming properties. Indeed, lavender essential oil is purifying and therefore perfect for sanitizing indoor spaces.
 

Add 6 to 10 drops of Pure Lavender Essential Oil from ESSENCIA to a diffuser to purify the air in your home. Keep your clothes fresh by adding a few drops to a piece of fabric placed in your closet or drawers. You can also neutralize refrigerator odors by combining a drop of lavender and lemon essential oil with a pinch of baking soda. The uses for lavender are countless!


Lemon: the ultimate clean scent 

When diffused, ESSENCIA Lemon essential oil acts as an air antiseptic and brings a fresh scent to your home. To prepare a multi-purpose cleaner, mix 10 drops of the oil with warm water and white vinegar. This mixture will naturally combat dirt while disinfecting surfaces and freshening the air.


The benefits of aromatherapy for purifying the home
