How to Beat Winter Blues One Drop at a Time with Essential Oils

Written by Irina Wardas on January 24th, 2010

Winter is here and we need to take care of our seasonal depression. Did you know that simply using flashlight three times a day might help? My radio show guest Caroline Sutherland reminded me about this effective light therapy while we were talking about anti-aging, weight loss and detox. I highly recommend to listen to the show if you missed it.

Have you tried eating walnuts and squeezing some orange skin to boost our serotonin level? Aromatherapy might help too – you can use different essential oils to reduce stress, get more energy and fight seasonal depression.

Here are some tips from Aromandina.com where all readers of NaturalCounselor Blog can use promo code IWAA to get 10% discount:

Bergamot and Grapefruit keep negative emotions under check while Ylang Ylang relieves any kind of mental stress.

If you need to regain your lost energy levels, take a pick from zesty citrus scents like Orange, Lemon and Mandarin.

Try Clary Sage and Jasmine to calm your senses and perk up your spirits.

Use these oils in a diffuser, in your bath water or as massage oil to keep yourself warm, happy and energized through the winter.

It may be a good idea to try out our brand new product called Citrus Delight. This bright happy and warming blend of Bergamot, Grapefruit and Lemon is just perfect for keeping blues at bay.
