The winter season this year has lasted unseasonably long.  Here in the South, we are used to countless days of sunshine and way-too-hot weather.  We don’t have many cold weather clothes or shoes because there is no need for it.  So why does it just keep getting colder and rainier?

It’s hard to not feel blue when you are used to seeing the sun regularly. So to fight the winter blues and lift your sadness, try a few of these aromatherapy remedies:

  • peppermint
  • orange
  • lemon
  • jasmine
  • lavender
  • sandalwood

A great way to make use of these oils is to make your own bath salts.  Mix 15-20 drops into 3 cups of Dead Sea salts. Add one tablespoon of sweet almond oil for added moisture.  Then take your blue self and emerge in a hot bath with the salts and you will feel energized and refreshed.  The weather will never get you down if you have the right tools to fight it!
