Air Purification
Because we spend much of our time indoors, it’s important to consider the cleanliness of our indoor air. Mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and dust float through the air unseen to the naked eye each and every day, and these are the substances we’re breathing in without even knowing it. You may find you’re congested without feeling run-down, or coughing without even the slightest additional sign of a cold, and this could be a sign of indoor allergens irritating your sinuses and airways. Grapefruit essential oil, with its natural anti-microbial properties, can help to purify your air and leave it not just smelling fresh and clean, but feeling fresh and clean.
Now this is important to me! Clearing the air! My bedroom hangs out right over a 10-lane highway. NO WAY I can open the windows and have all the exhaust come in. Grapefruit essential oil, here I come!
