Top Essential Oils:
1. Eucalyptus – Known for its respiratory-supporting properties and its ability to freshen and cleanse the air.
2. Tea Tree – Has antimicrobial and deodorizing effects that can help neutralize lingering odors.
3. Lemon – Fresh and uplifting, lemon oil can help cut through heavy smoke smells.
4. Peppermint – Helps to clear the air and supports easier breathing.
5. Lavender – Adds a calming scent while mildly purifying the air.
6. Thyme – Contains antimicrobial properties, making it great for air purification.
7. Rosemary – Effective in improving air quality and has a refreshing aroma.
How to Use:
• Diffuser: Add 5-10 drops of essential oil to a diffuser and run it in the affected space.
• Spray: Mix essential oil with water and a little alcohol in a spray bottle and mist the area.
