I love it when new products are launched and I am pretty excited about all of the fabulous new doTerra products that have just been launched in different parts of the world. With all of these oils come some fabulous new benefits and uses, so here is a summary of the new products that you can now start to enjoy.
New Products Available in Australia and Europe (and USA in 2019)
Citronella, Celery Seed and Adaptiv
Citronella
Harvested from the leaf of a tall grass native to Asia, Citronella essential oil has a crisp, fresh aroma and is both a natural pest repellent and can be used to cleanse surfaces. You are probably already familiar with the citrus scent if you have used any kind of natural insect repellent. It's the perfect travelling companion when venturing into the great outdoors. The oil works by masking the human scent that insects find irresistible.
Oil components include citronellol and geraniol, which are good for cleaning surfaces in and outside the home. When inhaled, Citronella promotes happy, positive feelings. Applied topically, it can be soothing to the skin and scalp, especially for tissue discomfort or irritation. Here are a few uses you could try out:
- Apply to skin with fractionated Coconut Oil for use as a topical insect repellent
- Add three to four drops to water to clean surfaces
- You can diffuse this oil to promote positive feelings
- Use in shampoo and conditioner to boost cleansing while adding shine
- Use it with your favourite face wash and as a natural cleanser for the skin
A good combination is cilantro and tea tree together, along with the citronella for healthy toenails. It also blends really well with wood essential oils.
Celery Seed Oil
Supports the nervous and digestive systems and can be used for its cleansing properties both internally and externally. This oil has a high concentration of Limonene, the same as citrus peel and fir needle oils. Here are a few benefits:
