Transitioning from warmer spring and summer weather to the sudden chills of fall and winter can be difficult, especially if you live in an area where extreme temperatures are the norm. Colder weather means more time indoors, likely in close quarters with friends, family, and a healthy mix of your coworkers. It also means more time trying to make your space as comfortable as possible, doing what you can to avoid the overall stuffiness that comes with the chilly seasons. From the invigorating aroma of lemon oil to the luxurious scent of lavender, here are four essential oils that are perfect for autumn and winter.
Eucalyptus Oil
Native to Australia, Tasmania, and other islands, the eucalyptus plant has a number of uses beyond lumber or as a food source for koalas. When blended into an essential oil, the primary chemical component of these species, eucalyptol (1,8-Cineole), can provide a calming, fragrant aroma.
As a popular oil for a soothing massage, eucalyptus oil can also help to promote feelings of clear breathing, whether used aromatically or topically. This makes it an especially welcome addition to your chilly weather regimen, as the general stuffiness of cooler seasons can often put a damper on an otherwise great day.
Lemon Oil
With invigorating powers that can refresh the air, lemon oil is often used as a non-toxic cleaner throughout the home. Many also love adding it to water, as it provides a refreshing, tasty zing that’s hard to ignore.
That being said, lemon oil can be especially enjoyable when diffused. Its aroma is commonly described as “uplifting.” When chilly weather sends us scrambling to snuggle up with our favorite books, movies, and other indoor hobbies, a lemon scent is a refreshing bonus.
Rosemary Oil
Most people typically associate rosemary with some of their favorite foods like pork, chicken, turkey, and holiday stuffing. That being said, did you know that rosemary has benefits beyond the plate? In fact, rosemary was considered sacred by the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Hebrews.
Rosemary oil’s invigorating scent remains popular. This is especially relevant during the chilly autumn and winter months, as dropping temperatures and shorter days can leave your environment needing an energizing, invigorating boost.
Lavender Oil
Cherished for centuries by the ancient Egyptians and Romans, lavender oil is most commonly associated with refreshing baths, delicious meals, and luxurious perfumes. With a calming aroma, adding a few drops of lavender oil to your feet, pillows, and other bedding can help promote a relaxing atmosphere that’s conducive to a restful environment when you need it most.
When diffused into the air, lavender’s light, powdery, and floral scent is unmistakable, with three to four drops being all you need to fill your living space with a soothing, relaxing scent.
