Mar 20

Spring is here, offering a chance to renew your space after winter's stagnant air. Even if your windows are still closed on those chilly spring mornings, you can recapture the crisp, sweet, and open-air freshness indoors with a simple, all-natural room spray.

This clarifying room spray is more than just a quick fix—it’s a blend of essential oils that work together to purify and uplift your space. Here’s a closer look at the star ingredients:

Lavender Oil (20 drops):
With a gentle, floral note, lavender oil adds a soothing balance to the blend. Its calming aroma promotes relaxation, alleviates stress, and purifies the air—neutralizing odors and creating a fresh, restorative ambiance.
Ravintsara Oil (15 drops):
With a crisp, invigorating scent, ravintsara oil energizes the blend. Its refreshing aroma helps clear the mind, uplift the spirit, and infuse the space with revitalizing clarity.
Tea Tree Oil (10 drops):
Renowned for its potent antimicrobial and antifungal properties, tea tree oil acts as a natural purifier. It’s perfect for combating airborne germs and keeping your environment clean and invigorated.

Why This Room Spray?
During winter, with sealed windows and prolonged indoor time, air can become stagnant and heavy. This natural formula is designed to cut through that stagnancy by:

Refreshing the Air: The invigorating blend of lavender, ravintsara and tea tree oils helps dispel mustiness and infuse your space with a lively, natural scent.
Supporting a Healthy Environment: This spray isn’t just about a refreshing scent—it also helps create a cleaner indoor environment. Thanks to the antimicrobial properties of lavender and tea tree oils and the natural alcohol in the blend, it works to neutralize and reduce airborne germs.
Enhancing Your Mood: Research in aromatherapy shows that inhaling certain essential oils can stimulate the limbic system, the part of your brain that influences emotions and mood. Studies have found that refreshing scents can reduce stress and promote mental clarity. In short, the right aroma can help you feel renewed and more in tune with a harmonious, balanced space.
