Sunshine Withdrawal? Winter Weather got you down?

Sunshine Withdrawal? Winter Weather got you down?

Essential Oils can improve your mood. Here are a few tips form FabFaves Young Living Essential Oil Products that can help you.*

Long winter months, grey overcast skies, low temperatures, wild winds, low light days and long frigid nights have a way of bringing us down. Essential oils and supplements can pick you up in a second or two! Orange oil can blow those dark clouds away! Diffuse it in a cold air diffuser, put a drop or two in water or tea. You can also carefully [if you have sensitive skin, dilute the oil with twice as much plain carrier oil] add a drop to the inside of your elbow. You can also add a drop of lavender or frankincense for an additional boost. Also remember your supplements and vitamins, especially Vitamin A.

If your emotions get the best of you, balance then and ground your feelings with Vetiver and Valor. Valor balances our left and right energies on the electrical, structural and emotional levels. Valor can be applied to the spine at night to combat hyperactivity. Vetiver grounds our scattered energies and helps to eliminate distractions so one can gain confidence and calmness. Vetiver can be applied to the bottom of the feet with a drop on each of the big toes where the brain reflex in located. It helps to ground all heightened energies. Apply these two essential ois, Valor and Vetiver the bottoms of the feet, the spine, wrists, stomach and inhale with hands cupped over the nose and mouth. [Lavender can help here, too, but remember it also helps you get to sleep, so don't take it when you need to be extra alert - such as driving!]
