Our hearts and prayers are with those affected by Hurricane Helene. We are surrounding you with comfort and strength during your time of need and recovery.
Disasters like this bring a host of emotions such as anger, disbelief, fear, grief, despair, worry, and emotional exhaustion. Know that you are not alone. Having family who lost everything in this storm, has been eye-opening and heart-wrenching to know they must rebuild and start over. Even after just recovering and rebuilding from the last hurricane. This is true resilience in the face of adversity.
The aftermath of a hurricane can feel lonely, overwhelming, and consuming. Not only are you left to manage your emotions, stress, and mindset, but you also have to assess and respond to potential environmental dangers such as mold, poor air quality, and respiratory distress.
Essential oils can offer some powerful support to help you. Here are the ones we have used for years in my home state of Florida, to recover from hurricane water and structural damage. These not only help protect your space but also support your health.
🌿 Tea Tree & Lemon to clean surfaces and helps you stay focused.
🌿 Eucalyptus & Lavender to purify the air and calm overwhelm.
🌿 Clove & Thyme to help combat mold and feeling defeated.
🌿 Peppermint to clear your airways, calm nausea, and combat burnout.
