Aromatherapy for the Winter Blues

Winter can be a time when the cold weather and shorter daylight hours can mean that we do not feel as positive, energetic and motivated as we do during the warmer months.

For some people the effect can be quite extreme, whereas for others it is just a matter of feeling like staying home and "nesting" in a warm place.

Many essential oils can have a positive effect on the mood and emotions, lifting the spirits and helping to energise and motivate during this time of year.

Some of the best oils for this time are the citrus oils, which, as a group, have quite sunny positive dispositions. They are usually well accepted by most people and have a bright lively aroma that freshens the air and lifts the mood. There are a number of different citrus oils, some quite sharp such as lemon or grapefruit, some are sweeter in aroma, including mandarin, sweet orange and lime. Some are even particularly good for stress, such as bergamot, for when the cold is really getting to you!

Other oils with uplifting qualities include clary sage, rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint and spearmint, petitgrain, pine, ylang ylang. Choose one or a combination that suits your mood. Some of these oils, such as eucalyptus for example are also good helping to clear the air when coughs and colds strike, so are very appropriate for this time of year.

Warming spicy oils are another way to combat the feeling of cold – oils such as black pepper, ginger, cinnamon leaf and clove bud are great in oil burners and many are also good antiseptic oils as a bonus! They generally blend very well with the citrus oils, to further enhance their benefits.

Try some of these blends in your vaporiser or experiment with your own combinations

Will wax wash out of fabric in the machine?

I just did something stupid. I was making my bed, shaking the duvet and an oil burner fell on it and now I have melted wax on the duvet cover. Fortunately the night light was out but the wax was still warm and liquid. It was on a shelve above the bed and i must have knocked it while shaking the duvet.

Will the dried wax wash out okay or have I ruined it now?

No, wax is water proof. Use an ice cube to harden wax and scrape off as much as you can. Place fabric wax side down on several layers off paper towel and use an iron on high to melt wax. The paper towel will absorb the melted wax.
