Remember the scent of Thanksgiving or Christmas when you were a child?
Diffused essential oils can be used for stress management with the added bonus is that they make your house smell fantastic! Scents are strongly linked with memory, so filling your home with a warm comforting scent from childhood can really help relieve stress and bring you back to a relaxing and joyous time!
According to the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy, certain oils promote a sense of calm. I’ve used their recommendations to create recipes to promote Holiday joy and relaxation. All recipes are for a diffuser, but you can easily use the ratios here to make a spray or roll on by adding them to water (spray) or carrier oil (roll on). Please be cautious and use care and safety guidelines in selecting which oils to diffuse, spray, or roll on. I have included a safety link below to make that part easy!
