Citrus Fresh essential oil blend combines cold-pressed oils of Orange, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Tangerine, and Lemon with a touch of sharp Spearmint for a bright and refreshing aroma. This versatile oil is good for everything from cleaning to diffusing to skincare and DIYs.
Background
Citrus oils are cold-pressed from the rind of the corresponding fruit, making them alkaline and full of wonderful aroma and flavor. Because it is composed of citrus oils, Citrus Fresh is a great source of antioxidants and the constituent limonene, which has some wonderful health-supporting properties. This blend is also great for the respiratory and immune systems. Add it to your wellness roller and DIY chest rub, especially if you are out of other favorites.
Note: Citrus Fresh and Citrus Fresh Vitality are the same essential oil.
Citrus Fresh & Emotions
Citrus Fresh might be one of the most overlooked emotional support oils. Because this blend combines multiple citrus oils with a hint of mint, it is a great choice for stimulating the right side of the brain. When we are consumed with worry, stress or suffer from analysis paralysis, the right side of the brain is less active. Inhaling Citrus Fresh, getting calm and quiet, allowing the emotions and processing them can help us move out of that place of stickiness.
Also, because Citrus Fresh contains limonene, it has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals cause physical stress, and when we lower that physical stress burden, our emotional benefit as well.
