Aromatherapy to Beat the Winter Blues

2/1/2018

​​Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects around 5 per cent of the US population, but we can all feel a bit flat at this time of the year. Fewer hours of daylight, less sunshine, and having to deal with cold weather all contribute to a general feeling of lethargy and once the holidays are over it can feel as if the sunny skies of spring are a long way away.

Aromatherapy is a really effective way to lift your spirits naturally; try these aromatic tips to boost your mood on chilly, miserable winter days.

Winter aromatherapy blends
​Some essential oils naturally work well at this time of year. A couple of our favorites are:

Blend #1
  •  3 drops Orange
  •  2 drops Grapefruit

Blend #2
  • 3 drops Bergamot
  • 1 drop Neroli
  • 1 drop Jasmine

For a winter-busting massage oil blend, multiply the number of drops by two so that you have ten drops of essential oil, and add them to a dark bottle. Mix the drops with 1 fl. ounce carrier oil and shake well.

You can also use them in a diffuser.   Multiply the number of drop above by four so that there are 20 drops in total, add to a dark colored glass bottle and mix well. Add the pure essential oil drops to a diffuser and enjoy.
