Essential oils are often used in aromatherapy, a holistic healing treatment that has a positive effect on both physical and emotional health. 

I’m not saying that it will cure COVID-19 la, but it does have healing properties. When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain and especially impact the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain.

When you’re emotionally healthy, it helps improve your physical health too. 

Here are some essentials oils that are perfect for every room in your home based on the activities you do in each room. 

+ Entryway 

The entry way to your home is the first place that your or your guests step into when entering you home. 

You want to use an essential oil that smells welcoming and inviting, something that calms you down and makes you feel at ease. 

- Anxiety Reducing - Cinnamon or Orange Oil

- Welcoming blend - 1 drop Lemon, 1 drop Wild Orange, 1 drop Grapefruit

+ Living Room 

The living room is a place where you go to chill and wind down after a long day. It is the perfect place for relaxation and sometimes a sneaky lil’ nap.

For this room, the essential oils of choice really depends on how your day was or what kind of activities you’re doing in the living room. 

- For Relaxation - Fir Needle Oil

- For Energy - 1 drop Rosemary, 1 drop Peppermint, 1 drop Lemon

- Peace or Happiness Blend - 2 drops Lavender, 2 drops Bergamot

+ Kitchen

The kitchen is a place where we create good food, but it is also home to some unappealing smells. 

For the kitchen, you want to have odor eliminating and purifying essential oils. 

- Antibacterial and natural purification – Lemon Oil

- Coziness and Security – Cinnamon 

- Purifying Blend - 2 drops Lemongrass, 5 drops Melaleuca, 4 drops Clove

+ Bedroom

The bedroom is definitely a place for relaxation, rest and recuperation. It is a place where you sleep so you want a scent that will help you fall asleep. 

For this room, steer away from any citrusy scents as their acidic scent energizes and sparks mental alertness.

- Sleep Inducing – Chamomile, Frankincense, Cedarwood or Catnip (only if you don’t have cats) Oil

+ Bathroom

This room is both a place of chaos and relaxation. In the mornings, it can be chaos, you use it to get prepared for the day and sometimes, when you’re running late it definitely can get more chaotic. 

In the evenings, we use the bathroom to calm down and wash away all the stress of the day. 

In the morning try:

- Mind stimulating - Lemon, Eucalyptus, or Tea Tree Oil

- Energizing or Uplifting blend: 4 drops Grapefruit, 2 drops Eucalyptus, 2 drops Rosemary

In the evening try:

- Relaxation – Lavender Oil
