We are talking drops, so not that much at all. And while they may be a bit more expensive than what you are expecting, keep in mind that you only need very little of the essential oils.
They are also very common essential oils that can be readily found at most health food stores. All three of these essential oils are great to soothe those frazzled nerves a lot of people have around the holiday season. What they have in common are they are all great for stress and nerves. These three on their own have wonderful property and uses. Three essential oils I am going to suggest are Lavender, Chamomile and Sandalwood. Why not use this same knowledge to help bring us feelings of calm and well being during the holiday season, instead of stress? These are aimed at the fact that aromas affect us and bring us those warm fuzzy feelings of happiness and good cheer. You will find fragrances like Grandma’s spice cookies, Christmas fir, sugar cookies and gingerbread house. Take a look at the candle section this holiday season. Christmas trees are artificial in many homes in this day and age, but people are still longing for that “smell” of the holidays. This is because the smell of a pine tree brings back pleasant holiday memories for most of us. The air freshener companies make lots of money over the holidays with something as simple as pine tree scented spray. There are certain aromas that affect our moods. We see why that would help in holiday stress. There are simple things that we can do that will help us get through very stressful times, such as the holidays, a lot easier, and drug free.Īromatherapy is basically the use of essential oil in an effort to affect mood and promote health. There are other ways to deal, no denial, no stress and no flakes. Which of this is the best way to deal with the stress? Well frankly I wouldn’t choice any of them. Still others totally flake out and become total Scrooges and swear all the Holidays off. Some of us go from one stress to the next. Some people seem to just breeze through it with no problems what so ever. We all deal with the stress of the holidays in different ways.
