Aromatherapy for the Holiday Spirit
Francoise Rapp
The holiday season stirs up some of our most basic joys in
life. The friendship and camaraderie we find at holiday parties
and other social engagements is one of the highlights of the
season. So is the fulfillment we gain through our special
efforts to please our loved ones as we shop to find items that
will make them smile. Moreover, since this is the season of
giving, I encourage you to donate your time or money to those
who lack of the warmth of a home, family and friends, or to
children who won't enjoy the delight of opening their gifts.
While the holidays are about giving, loving and joyous
celebration, many consider this time of year to be stressful,
lonely and expensive. If you're feeling more like Scrooge than
Santa, I offer the following aromatic blends to help you get
into the holiday spirit, become more sociable, and open your
heart to others who are unable to enjoy the holidays the way we
do. Be ready to fully enjoy, laugh, socialize and share this
holiday season by experimenting with these wonderful aromatic
blends!
To create each of these blends, pour the essential oils into a
10-ml bottle and add organic vegetable oil to fill.
