Monday, November 27, 2017
Let’s face it. Some us dread even the thought of
leaving our homes during winter – and with good reason. The biting cold can
bring a slew of bad-for-you side effects like cold feet, blocked noses, and
aching joints. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. Try the following essential oils for your body to kick
winter cold and enjoy the holidays without much fuss.
Myrrh
Woody, earthy, and a little balsamic, Myrrh can help
you keep the immune system ticking and stay on top of your health during the
cold winter months. More than that, myrrh is an excellent antidepressant which spruces up your mood and spirit as
well as keeps you warm. Besides, its antioxidant properties rejuvenate your
skin, heal wounds, and keep aging at bay. However, it’s best to mix myrrh with carrier oils like
grape, almond or jojoba before using it on your skin. You can also blend it
with unscented lotions and used directly on the skin.
Cardamom
Cardamom’s balsamic, spicy, and green scents will
reinvigorate and uplift your senses and spirit during winter. They also reduce
feelings of despair, depression, fatigue, and stress. A great warming essential
oil, cardamom will undoubtedly keep you healthy all winter long.
Marjoram
Also filled with spicy and woody charming aroma,
marjoram is an essential oil that boasts a warming, calming effect that’s much
needed during the cold months. Much like
cardamom, the oil is known to keep away stress and anxiety.
Black Pepper
Who could have guessed that black pepper could be this
useful? That’s right; ground black pepper essential oil will help you stay warm
during winter. Its crisp aroma is known to aid digestion, blood circulation,
and stimulates your mind.
Juniper Berry
One thing that bogs people down and many have to fight off during winter is the
flu. You can fight off this misery by adding a little juniper berry essential oil into
your diffuser. The oil’s earthy, sweet, crisp, and woody aromas will help you
cleanse your body and boost your immunity. It’s also an excellent
anxiety, burn out, and stress relief oil.
Peppermint Oil, Myrtle, and Pine for Your Respiratory
Winter cold can take a massive toll on your
respiratory system. Peppermint essential oil, coupled with pine and myrtle
oils, can do wonders for your respiratory function and health. It can also ease
tension.
Lavender Oil
Lavender oil is one of the best essential oils. It can
help you get a good night sleep and stay calm during winter. Just spray a
little lavender oil on your pillow – and enjoy the slumber!
