We all face risks every day — especially in today’s climate. But it’s easy to forget that some of the risk you are facing is within your own home. As adults we spend roughly 90% of our time indoors; in stagnant air that can be dense with pollution, bacteria, and possibly viruses. It might not seem like something as simple as air could cause too much damage at first, put for those most ill, air quality and cleanliness can be a huge factor in recovery (or lack of).
I’ve been using essential oils for several years now and it never ceases to amaze me how helpful they can be for so many different problems. It’s common to diffuse essential oils for the scent alone — but one of my favorite ways to use them is to purify the air in my home. Depending on the oil, they can be antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiviral, and/or antimicrobial. It’s such a small act to implement into your daily routine that can make a really big difference.
My favorite combination might have to be eucalyptus and lemon essential oils together. Together they are incredibly fresh and energizing! And since each oil has its own different properties and benefits, I’m covering all my bases for what I’m trying to achieve (extra cleaner air).

Make sure when choosing an essential oil brand that you research their sourcing and quality. Look closely at the ingredients for hidden synthetic fragrances or processed carrier oils that can be found in cheaper department store brands. Ensuring that the brand is reputable and ethically sourced will also increase your essential oil potency.
There are several clean brands out there, but my go-to is doTERRA. For more information about the company and why I love and trust them visit Why doTERRA.
