Winter Themed Essential Oils
When it starts to get colder out, we all want a comforting, warm place to call home. The “Winter Blues” can sneak up on us when we least expect it, especially with how busy our lives can get at this time of year. With this in mind, it is super important for our well-being that we create a space and sanctuary for ourselves to destress and realign. Essential oils, can help amplify that soothing ambiance, and help calm our nerves. Here are some Winter themed essential oils that I’d recommend to keep the blues at bay.
Ginger
Spicy, warm, and comforting, the aroma of ginger has energizing, anti-inflammatory properties that can naturally improve your mood. It also helps to remind many of us of the seasonal baked goods we cherish so much this time of year.
Geranium
A scent renowned for its ability to fight off the seasonal blues and boost your mood with its citrusy, floral notes. Geranium is often compared to rose in its aroma, but many find its slight spiciness to be a bit more warming and less perfumey- a perfect fit for staying cozy this Winter.
Black Spruce
There is a certain smell in the air when the seasons change and the air gets cooler. The closest embodiment to that smell I can think of is black spruce. A slightly different conifer from the traditional holiday pine, black spruce exudes a crisp, stimulating aroma that will have you feeling like taking a forest stroll from the comfort of your home.
Sandalwood
Earthy, warm, and laced with vanilla undertones, Sandalwood is an overall calming and enjoyable fragrance. If you are in need of a grounding, reliable scent to fill your home for the holidays, look no further than this one.
Peppermint
A sharp, clean, and seasonal scent. Let the scent of peppermint ease any discomfort you might be carrying with you throughout the holidays. It is known to reduce headaches, cleanse sinuses, and freshen any space.
