When you think of cleaning products, most people think of their local super-market and products such as Pine-O-Kleen or Ajax Spray and Wipe. And when you think of food and what you ingest; everyone knows that all-natural, organic food is the best option to nourish your body. But when it comes to cleaning surfaces and household items you touch and eat off daily, using organic, natural cleaning products doesn’t often come to mind.

The unpleasant chemical residue that your typical household cleaning products leave behind can be extremely harmful and damaging in the long term. The list of benefits of using all-natural cleaning products is extensive, such as, it won’t harm the environment, it’s allergy free, skin friendly and there’s no animal testing. More and more people are searching for non-toxic cleaning solutions to use around the home. Your household cleaning products don’t need to be full of chemicals and we have the perfect solution with our all natural make your own cleaning kit.

Our DIY kit makes kitchen and bathroom sprays that will last all year long. The kit includes 2 x amber glass reusable spray bottles, 3 x 10ml pure essential oils (lemon, pink grapefruit and eucalyptus), 1 x 100ml castile soap, labels for your spray bottle and instructions booklet including extra natural cleaning products.

During this time of reflection swap those chemical-filled cleaning products and bleach for something that’s good for your skin, your family and your planet.

Essential oils have been around for years, but recently they’ve burst back into a lifestyle trend, and we’ are very happy about it. Extracted from many different natural sources these pure oils are a holistic pick-me-up with plenty of proven benefits relating to problems we encounter in our fast-paced lifestyles. It all comes down to aromatherapy and the science of smell including how the scents affect us.

When we smell a scent, it heightens an emotion or ignites a memory – that’s why you we associate perfumes with people or moments in our lives. The powerful and pure ingredients that essential oils hold can ease anxiety, stress and insomnia, among other things.

Every essential oil has a different purpose. Here’s your guide to our favourite at Kabana:

Whatever the reason for your mood, aromatherapy will always help. Essential oils are natural mood boosters which in turn will promote healing and increase your energy levels. To relax your mind and stop racing thoughts after a long day at work, use essential oils to treat yourself to some time out with a few drops.

Aromatherapy plays a powerful role in relationships – in fact, some essential oils are so good at sparking passion and assisting in setting intentions. Focus and concentration are hard to achieve in a busy world, the use of essential oils will act as a refreshing change to the attention that we all need to showcase in our bustling lives.

Anxiety and stress is inevitable to some extent in everyone’s lives, though some of us struggle with it more than others. When anxious thoughts creep in, essential oils can help to ground you. Sleep is one of life’s most awarded pleasures – yet we toss and turn. If you’re nodding your head, essential oils might help you to fall – and stay – asleep the natural way. Essential oils are also a huge asset when travelling; they can help you combat the fogginess that comes with jet lag. For the optimum effect of essential oils, we suggest they are applied directly to the skin or dabbed on the wrist, back of the neck and temples. And adding drops of the pure oils to your favourite beauty products is yet another brilliant use we have come to love.
