Essential Oils for Christmas


Essential Oil Gift Idea: Scented Pine Cones

Add several drops of any essential oil to a spray bottle with distilled water. Spray the pine cones. For a seasonal Christmas scent, use an essential oil such as pine, balsam fir, or spruce.

You can also spray your real Christmas tree to enhance its scent.


For Dry, Itchy Skin

Does winter weather dry out your skin?

Mix together the following, and then add to warm bath water and soak for twenty minutes:
2 drops hyssop essential oil
3 drops lavender essential oil
2 drops geranium essential oil
4 teaspoons sweet almond oil


Thoughts blown away...

Holidays have you feeling a bit stressed? Here's a simple meditation using wind chimes. You can practice this technique indoors by using a fan to play your wind chimes or outside on a warm, breezy day.

Begin this meditation with the intention of letting go of your thoughts and opening to deeper relaxation.

1. Sit comfortably, with your spine straight and your shoulders and back relaxed.
2. Breathe deeply and slowly, letting your forehead and the area above the bridge of your nose relax.
3. Notice the breeze and listen to the wind chimes.
4. Imagine your thoughts gently blowing away on the breeze. With each chime, let more worries, thoughts, and stresses drift away.
5. Slowly bring the meditation to an end, welcoming your thoughts back and giving thanks for this gentle meditative practice.

3. For the professional massage therapist in your life, a subscription to Massage Magazine.
4. If you really want to go all out, a recliner with built-in massager.
5. Okay, this one isn't massage related, unless you count reading massage books, but a Kindle makes a great gift.
