THE SECRETS OF AROMATHERAPY : From our hands to Your Home!

Nowadays a great part of North America has faced the struggles to live healthy and clean.Sometimes the more we try to keep our bodies and homes clean and keep ourselves knowledgeable of how to best do it, sometimes the more we do just the opposite. There have been a great emergence of the so called ‘green’ cosmetics and home cleaning supplies. But the problem is just putting a label that says ‘green’ doesn’t make it less harmful. Still many cleaning supplies threaten our health and the one of our entire households, especially our smaller members like children and pets. After all, they are much more vulnerable to substances that adults can tolerate simply because their bodies are not able process and dispose of the toxins that they are surrounded with, in difference to adults. Moreover, high volume chemicals and substances that are found in our homes do not get tested for health effects on children. As a result, over 150 chemicals found in the average home have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities.

This is why we, at Valentina’s Professional Cleaning Services, take constant measures not only to eliminate the grime and dirt form our customer’s homes, but to generally improve the health and well-being of our customers and their loved ones. We are constantly involved in research of new and emerging cleaning products that help, rather harm you and your environment. Even more, we have begun producing with our own hands all-natural, healing, and highly beneficial cleaning supplies. For these purposes we have turned to aroma therapy and the power of essential oils.

You ask ‘Why Aromatherapy and what is it exactly?’. Well, the answer is simple enough: after much research and consideration of cleaning agents, we have found that essential oils actually are ones of the least harmful and most beneficial substances in existence. In fact, these oils have the properties to heal our bodies, psyche, and environment.

Aromatherapy comes from an ancient practice of using natural plant essences to promote health and wellbeing. It uses pure essential oils obtained from a wide assortment of plants, which have been steam distilled or cold-pressed from flowers, fruits, barks and roots. Aromatherapy is widely used in herbal medicine helping with easing aches, pains, and injuries, and relieving the discomforts of many health problems. It also acts on the central nervous system, relieving depression and anxiety, reducing stress, relaxing, uplifting, sedating or stimulating, restoring both physical and emotional wellbeing. And all that is needed is the appropriate essential oil.

Many of the oils have powerful antibacterial and antiviral qualities which, unlike pharmaceutical drugs and many cleaning detergents nowadays, do not leave behind dangerous toxins. This is why they are often referred to as ‘nature's living energy’! Let me add a a curious fact, essential oils are wholly natural and cannot be patented. This means that you’ll never see an essential oil in a store bought cleaning product. This is why we have decided to take this ‘living energy’ and invite it to your home. We do this through the creation of our own essential oil-based, cream and liquid cleaning products! We carefully select each oil when creating our cleaning supplies based on special consideration of our clients’ needs. In combination with our years-long professional cleaning experience, we always strive to create a clean, safe, and happy atmosphere in your home. And just to give you a greater insight, here are some of our favourite essential oils and their purposes.

Lemon oil is a first favourite because it has so many purposes. In fact, this oil is often found in many home cleaning products because of its fresh and calming scent. Lemon oil is widely used in removing laundry stains, or brightening any type of flooring. It perfectly gets rid of heavy greasy smells, and simply dissolved in water, it becomes a great glass, window, and all-purpose cleaner. Additionally, its scent has been proven to increase concentration and mental awareness.

Another widely known, and rightly so, favourite of ours is Lavender oil. On top of being absolutely enchanting with its sweet, fresh floral scent, it is also as versatile as lemon oil. It can be mixed in such a way that it can become a great cleaning agent for practically anything. But what is more important here is that through its scent, it invites serenity right in your home. Lavender has been known to have a calming effect on the central nervous system. This oil can help with problems like stress, sadness, and enhance harmonious feelings and atmosphere.

But if you are looking to battle respiratory problems, Eucalyptus is our choice for you. This oil’s aroma has a healing and cleansing function by opening your airways up and even being able to work through any cold, or battle mental exhaustion.

Peppermint oils is also very effective in problems such as congestion and mental stimulation. It has also been widely used for headaches and migraines. And it is not only its amazing minty scent that we appreciate, but also peppermint stands on the list of our favourites because of its undeniable antibacterial properties. It is so powerful that it is known as being a great natural pest deterrent.

Tea Tree oil, also known as Melaleuca oil, doesn’t fall behind for us with its antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. And just to top it off, this oil works perfectly against mold and mildew! Not to mention that its natural properties make it completely safe for any surface, so even if you don’t wipe it out completely, be sure it will do no harm. In fact, just the opposite!

Now going back to the citrusy degreasers, Orange oil stands right next to Lemon oil. And this is the reason why its scent is found in many heavy, grime fighting detergents, such as the ones for stove. Orange oil works perfectly to saturate grease and oils, making it easy to simply wipe the grime off, and leaves a much more welcoming, fresh citrus scent.

Finally, let me talk a bit about Patchouli oil. This oil will bring you much more value for your money than a bag full of housekeeping materials. Aside from its undeniable all-purpose anti-bacterial properties, patchouli oil has also insecticidal properties that keep away insects. It easily gets rid of moths, bed bugs and others after they have invaded any property, and under spray or vaporizer form, it keeps away mosquitoes, ants, and any other unwelcome insect to your home. Oh, but it doesn’t only deters! In fact, according to Feng Shui, Patchouli oil attracts money and wealth to your home. Additionally, in ancient times patchouli oil has been known to be used by Cleaopatra and other powerful figures as a way to increase their and their partner’s sexual libido. Even today, patchouli oils is still highly used for such purposes.

Of course the list of favourites can go on because each and every oil has a secret within itself, making it unique and, well, favourite of ours. So, we at Valentina’s Professional Cleaning services have decided to explore these secrets and lay them out all to our customers. We always work around your needs! This simply means, we deeply care not only about keeping your home clean but also helping you live a better, healthier, and happier life. It is not only grease and grime for us. It is you!
