Avoid the Christmas Blues with Essential Oils!!



Mabuhay!

It is easy to be depressed at Christmas time... maybe like me, you are far away from home and things that are familiar and joyful at Christmas. Maybe you just had a baby and your hormones are messed up. Maybe you lost someone you love recently. Maybe you split up with your boyfriend or your husband. Maybe you have the flu. Maybe you lost your job or you just barely have enough to make ends meet.

Whatever the reason for your blueness, you can find some relief with essential oils. There are some really nice Christmas scents like the Evergreen Essence blend (even guys like it-- very masculine are fir trees lol). There is, of course, Christmas Spirit (with Frankincense and Myrrh). I think that the citrus essential oils are really uplifting-- and they are reasonably priced if you want to use them to diffuse (they diffuse "clean" and will not clog up your diffuser). Citrus oils that Young Living carries include:
  • Lemon

  • Grapefruit

  • Orange

  • Tangerine

  • Pettigrain

  • Neroli

  • Citrus Fresh


  • When teachers use lemon oil to wipe off classroom surfaces there are fewer absences. In Britain they use lemon oil in hospital settings to uplift the patients' spirits and to kill germs.

    You must be careful not to go out in the sun with citrus essential oil on your skin (if it is exposed) because it might affect the pigment. I mostly just inhale it. Tangerine is a favorite at Christmas time... and think of all the fun things you can do at Christmas time with other uplifting (and edible) essential oils like Young Living's Cinnamon, Clove, Peppermint, and Nutmeg, for example.

    But you can't lose with the pure, therapeutic-grade citrus essential oils if you just want to have something clean and fresh and lovely to smell that will also raise your spirits!
