December of each year is a time of high stress, physically, mentally and spiritually for many people. Season should be a time of celebration and joy can actually result in decreased immunity caused more colds, for gastrointestinal disorders, falls and trauma, for emotional disorders, depression and the "blues." Is there something in nature to help you through the holidays while maintaining your sanity? As a certified aroma therapist, I have some tips for you.
Physical Balance
Keeping your immune system healthy, get enough sleep, do you exercise, eat in moderation. Here are your aromatherapy tips:
Use lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) before bed. You can put a few drops on the temples, or sprinkle 1-2 drops on your pillow. Does not use too much, will have the opposite effect and make you stay awake!
Use oils such as frankincense (Boswellia carteri,) Thieves essential oil blend, oregano (Origanum compactum), and thyme (Thymus vulgaris) to strengthen the immune system. Taking a good probiotic is also a good idea.
To keep your digestive tract healthy, use Peppermint (Mentha peperita), Di-Gize blend of essential oils, ginger (Zingiber officinale) or fennel (Foeniculum vulgare).
Emotional Balance
the holidays are a difficult time emotionally so it is important to give yourself an emotional break. You can not please everyone so try to please ourselves. What gives you joy? Here are a few tips of aromatherapy:
Use oils such as rose (Rosa damacena), geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), Bergamot (Citrus bergamia), orange (Citrus sinensis), ylang ylang (Cananga odorata), Jasmine (Jasminum officinale) to calm, balance, relax and revitalize your spirit.
Use the oil mixture containing oil emotionally harmonious balance. This mixture is often given a name that shows how they work on the body. For example, Joy, Harmony, Peace and calm, Christmas Spirit, Essence season. This extraordinary blend to balance all the people in your house when they were scattered.
Spiritual Balance
The holiday season is a time of reflection and goes in but they can be miserable with anxiety and pressure to get "everything" was done to celebrate. Often the joy is missing at the time of planned arrival. How do we maintain our balance and not "lose our religion?" Here are a few tips of aromatherapy:
Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) is top on my list along with Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) and balsam fir (Abies balsamea). This is the gift of the king and the three gifts given to the Christ child. Yes, balsam fir is considered "liquid gold" in ancient gold coins that are not provided by the Magi. This oil is high in all terpenes makes them ideal to affect the brain limbic system, hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal gland. Are you diffusing them or rub their bodies on this oil will lift you out of the "blues" and help you calm your overactive mind. Comes into spiritual balance will come to a place of unity, essential oils can help.
You will want to use only pure therapeutic grade essential oils. Buy them from health food stores or from companies that do not perform their own testing would cause less than desired effect.
