Citrus oils are one of the most popular types of essential oils, and for good reason. They provide a range of benefits that can help improve your overall wellbeing. Let’s take a closer look at what citrus essential oils can do for you.
Benefits of Citrus Essential Oils
Citrus essential oils are derived from different types of fruit, including oranges, lemons, and limes. They have a range of beneficial properties that make them ideal for use in aromatherapy.
The main benefits of citrus essential oils include their ability to freshen the air, reduce stress, improve mood, and help you unwind.
Fresh, Clean Air
Citrus essential oils are naturally cleansing and are a favorite for freshening the air during cold and flu season. Their bright scent makes a room feel clean and inviting.
Mood Booster and Stress Reliever
The light, refreshing aroma of citrus essential oils has been known to lift moods and reduce stress levels. This makes them a lovely choice when you're feeling anxious, down or overwhelmed.
The pleasant scent can also create a sense of calmness and relaxation that will leave you feeling refreshed after each use.
Wind-Down Routine
Softer citrus oils like tangerine and bergamot are lovely in an evening routine to help you unwind before bed.

Citrus Burst Room Spray Recipe
Use this clean and refreshing essential oil room spray to scent your home and boost your mood.
- 5 drops Lemon essential oil
- 5 drops Orange essential oil
- 5 drops Bergamot essential oil
- 5 drops Tangerine essential oil
- 5 drops Grapefruit essential oil
- 1 tablespoon grain alcohol (for preservation)
- Distilled Water
- 2 oz glass spray bottle
Directions:
- Add essential oils and grain alcohol to bottle, swirl the bottle to help them mix together. The grain alcohol helps disperse the oils and acts as a preservative for your spray. If you choose to omit it, use witch hazel instead and use the spray within 1 to 2 weeks.
- Fill rest of bottle with distilled water. Place spray top on bottle and shake to blend.
- Shake before each use and spray into the air, away from faces, pets and fabrics. This is a room spray, not a body spray, since several of these citrus oils can cause sun sensitivity on skin.
Citrus oils are especially hard on cats, so skip this spray in rooms where cats spend time. See my kid-safe essential oils list for using oils around little ones.
