Using Essential Oils on a Daily Basis

Essential oils have been a big part of people living more sustainably and focusing on a 
holistic and natural lifestyle. But instead of just using them for special circumstances like 
when you have bad anxiety or to help with a skin condition, consider some of these 
ways you can use them more on a daily basis.


Daily Cleaning and Deodorizing 

The first way essential oils can help you on a daily basis for your holistic lifestyle is with 
cleaning and deodorizing your home. Think about how often you use products with 
added chemicals and artificial ingredients that you don’t even really need. Lemon 
essential oil is perfect for deodorizing different spaces in your home and adding to your 
natural cleaning supplies for a bit of scent in your home. It can even kill some bacteria, 
so it is great to add to your all-purpose cleaner if you are using a natural variety.


Boost Your Energy Naturally

You may also find that using certain essential oils in the morning gives you a natural 
boost of energy. The citrus essential oils like orange, lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot 
are a great place to start. Put a few drops in an essential oil diffuser in the morning 
during your morning routine to get a nice boost of energy. You may also want to try 
something a bit stronger on days when you are extra sleepy, such as peppermint. 


Relax and Reduce Stress

Need to reduce stress and relax your mind and body? Several essential oils can help 
you do this. Think of those relaxing scents in your other self care products as a guide to 
which essential oils will help with relaxing. This often includes lavender, rose, 
chamomile, and sweet orange. They are soothing, reduce stress and anxiety, and are 
amazing for your skin and hair growth as well. It’s hard not to find benefits to using 
these types of oils daily. 


Reduce Inflammation

If you are suffering from chronic pain, especially when it comes to inflammation in your 
diet, essential oils can be really useful. Tea tree oil, lavender, frankincense, bergamot, 
and roman chamomile are excellent at reducing inflammation to help with pain or 
muscle cramping. For pain or inflammation, try adding a few drops to your bath water 
with a little Borax. 

It is really easy to make a habit of using essential oils every day for more natural 
remedies and to help with your new holistic lifestyle.
