Pest Control

  • Repel insects: Lemons are a natural insect repellent. Place lemon oil on cotton buds around your home to deter ants, flies, and mosquitoes.
  • Protect plants: Dilute lemon oil in water and spray on your plants to repel aphids and other pests. Shake well before spraying to ensure the oil and water are mixed together as they will separate out when the liquid is sitting still.

Mood Booster

  • Uplift your spirits: The invigorating scent of lemon oil can help boost your mood and reduce stress. Diffuse it in your home or office for a refreshing and uplifting atmosphere.

Skin Care

  • Brighten skin: Lemon oil can help lighten dark spots and scars when used topically.
  • Treat acne: Apply a diluted solution of lemon oil to acne-prone areas to help reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Household Hacks

  • Remove stickers: Rub lemon oil on stubborn stickers to help loosen them and remove them easily.
  • Clean windows: Add a few drops of lemon oil to your window cleaner for sparkling clean glass.
  • Freshen the air: Place lemon slices in a bowl of water and let it evaporate to naturally freshen the air in your home.

Caution when using lemon oil on skin:

Always dilute lemon oil with a carrier oil (like coconut or olive oil) before applying it to your skin. Patch test a small area of skin before using it for the first time. Citrus oils can increase sensitivity to sunlight and UV rays, so it is advised that you wear SPF, even on cloudy days, to avoid damage to your skin.

Beyond Diffusers – Uncommon Uses For Essential Oils

We all know about diffusing essential oils for a calming atmosphere or a burst of invigorating scent. But did you know these potent plant liquids hold untapped potential beyond aromatherapy? In this post we’re diving into the uncommon uses that will transform your perception of these tiny bottles of nature’s magic.

Chemical-Free Cleaning

Ditch the harsh chemicals and embrace the cleaning power of essential oils! Lavender, with its antibacterial properties, tackles dust and grime on surfaces. Tea tree oil, a natural disinfectant, works wonders on doorknobs and light switches. Lemon oil, your kitchen’s best friend, cuts through grease and leaves a refreshing aroma. Mix these powerhouses with water and vinegar for a DIY cleaning spray that’s gentle on your surfaces and lungs.

Repel Bugs

Outsmart those pesky flies and mosquitoes with a strategic blend of essential oils. Citronella, lemongrass, and peppermint oils create a natural barrier these uninvited guests just can’t resist. Diffuse the blend, dab some on cotton balls near entry points, or even create DIY bug repellent wipes. Remember, prevention is key, so reapply regularly for optimal bug-free bliss.

Unwind and Recharge

Essential oils can enhance your bath routine. Add a few drops of calming lavender or stress-busting chamomile oil to your bathwater for a spa-like experience that soothes both body and mind. Want to amp up your focus? Peppermint oil, known for its invigorating aroma, can be inhaled or diffused to boost concentration and alertness.

4. Freshen Fabrics Like a Pro: Fabric refreshers often contain harsh chemicals. Opt for a natural alternative by creating your own linen spray! Combine water, witch hazel, and your favorite essential oil (try lavender for calming bedrooms or any citrus oil such as lemon or lime for energizing towels) in a spray bottle. Shake well and spritz on linens, furniture, or even workout clothes for a burst of natural fragrance.

5. Soothe Sore Muscles, Naturally: After a tough workout or a long day, essential oils can be your muscle’s best friend. Dilute oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, or wintergreen with a carrier oil like coconut oil and massage onto sore muscles. These oils have natural anti-inflammatory properties that can help ease pain and promote relaxation. Our aromatherapist, John, has designed a unique blend of essential oils called Muscle Pain Remedy to soothe sore and tired muscles. The Muscle Pain Remedy has been diluted in a carrier oil and is ready for application onto your inflamed muscles and it also works wonders for painful conditions such as bursitis.

Household Uses For Clove Essential Oil

Dried clove buds

There are many interesting uses for specific essential oils. Oil of the clove plant can have many health benefits when used correctly. Continue reading to find out more about how clove essential oil can be helpful around the house.

The difference between clove bud and clove leaf essential oil

The main difference between clove bud essential oil and clove leaf essential oil lies in the part of the clove plant from which each oil is extracted and the chemical composition they contain.

Extraction: Clove bud essential oil is extracted from the flower buds of the clove plant (Syzygium aromaticum). Clove leaf essential oil is derived from the leaves of the clove plant.

Chemical Composition: Clove bud oil is rich in eugenol, a phenolic compound that contributes to its characteristic spicy and warm aroma. Eugenol is known for its antimicrobial and analgesic properties. While clove leaf oil also contains eugenol, its composition may differ slightly from clove bud oil. It tends to have a higher percentage of eugenol acetate.

Aroma: Clove bud oil has a sweet and spicy aroma and is commonly used in aromatherapy for its warming and stimulating qualities. Clove leaf oil has a slightly different aroma compared to clove bud oil, with a fresher and more herbaceous scent.

Uses: Clove bud oil is often used for its various therapeutic benefits, including dental care, pain relief, and as an immune system booster. Clove leaf essential oil shares some similar uses with clove bud oil, such as its antimicrobial properties. However, due to its different aroma profile, it may be preferred in certain blends or formulations.

Using Clove Essential Oil Around The Home

For temporary relief from toothache or gum pain, dilute clove oil with a carrier oil and apply a small amount to the affected area. Consult with a dentist for persistent issues.

Create a natural air freshener by diffusing clove essential oil in your home. Its warm and spicy aroma can help eliminate unpleasant odors and create a cozy atmosphere, especially during colder seasons.

Diffusing clove oil may also contribute to a cleaner indoor environment due to its antimicrobial properties.

Clove essential oil is known for its potent antifungal activity. The active component responsible for this antifungal activity is eugenol. Use clove essential oil as a cleaning solution to kill mould spores.

At Aromatherapy Clinic we source only the highest quality therapeutic grade essential oils. We offer a range of individual essential oils in our online store. If you would like to order an essential oil that isn’t on our list, please contact us and we will do our best to source your desired oil.

The powerful natural ingredients of Immune Booster work together to fight respiratory infections. Apply Immune Booster regularly to prevent colds and flu. When you’re already sick, apply the Immune Booster to reduce the length and severity of respiratory illnesses.

If you are suffering from hay fever allergies Immune Booster targets the source of the problem by regulating your body’s immune response.

What Is Immune Booster?

Immune Booster is a mixture of essential oils blended in a carrier oil, ready for application directly onto your skin. It is an original product created by John, the aromatherapist of Aromatherapy Clinic.
