- When you were a kid and
the ice cream man came,
what was one of your favorites?
- A Dreamsicle.
- That is Citrus Bliss.
- (laughter) Totally is.
(laughter)
It totally is.
- Yeah it does, Citrus Bliss is
one of our favorite oils to pass around
at a class to really give people
an experience of the power of citrus oils,
and it smells exactly like a Dreamsicle.
- It tastes like it too.
It's like the adult version
of a Dreamsicle.
- Totally.
- Now there's a ton of
citrus essential oils
but seven of them in this blend
along with vanilla which I think
gives it that extra Dreamsicle
flavor.
- Vanilla
with a citrus in any
sort of baking or cooking
is always a good combination,
but the citrus oils that are in this blend
are wild orange, lemon, grapefruit,
mandarin, bergamot,
tangerine, and clementine.
So some great
- So good.
- Citrus fruits, and the
major class of molecules
in this blend are called monoterpenes.
A lot of essential oils, the
backbone is a monoterpene,
and the specific
monoterpene in citrus fruits
is, of course, limonene
which we talk a ton about,
and emotionally, limonene
is very uplifting,
and for our physical body,
limonene is incredibly cleansing.
It's in our detox protocol.
It supports our immune system,
and it's just a powerful
essential oil molecule.
- Right, if you have any
negative feelings at all,
you cannot help but turn those negatives
into a positive when you
even just smell Citrus Bliss.
Just open that bottle and smell it.
Diffuse it when you're in the workspace
and you're feeling overwhelmed,
overworked, unappreciated.
Put citrus bliss in your diffuser.
Five drops, right in
there, start diffusing it,
and that frown is gonna turn upside down
or upside whatever it is,
and you will be smiling no matter what.
It has an extreme, powerful
effect on your emotions.
So uplifting, energizing.
We diffuse this in our yoga
studio space constantly,
and it's motivating.
All of our students just wanna
stay longer than that hour in yoga class
because of what's diffusing.
They just love it.
- If you run a business,
if you own a business,
Citrus Bliss is one of the
oils that we always recommend
diffusing right by the front door.
So everybody that walks in
recognizes that signature scent,
and any time they smell a citrus fruit
it's gonna remind them of your business,
and it's gonna remind them
of coming into your place.
- Yeah.
- It's a powerful oil
emotionally for that reason.
- One last recommendation
for Citrus Bliss.
Apply it topically.
I love to apply citrus essential oils on,
especially Citrus Bliss
during this time of year.
It's winter time, skin's drier.
I love putting it in with
my fractionated coconut oil.
- On the back of your legs.
- On the back (laughter) of my legs.
I do it every time I get
out of the shower, you guys.
I have either my Citrus Bliss.
I go from grapefruit, just
all those essential oils,
but I know that they're
all in Citrus Bliss,
and it is just wonderful to
help invigorate your skin.
Just get a fresh, new feeling,
and it's just amazing.
- And limonene helps with circulation.
So for
- There you go.
- Back of your legs
you want circulation.
- Absolutely.
- Great.
