Olfactory cocooning

In winter, as temperatures drop more and more, as the light disappears little by little, morale also tends to be low. Moroseness, doldrums and sometimes a feeling of being fed up surface to envelop us in a tendency to hibernate. In order to avoid any seasonal discomfort, winter is the appropriate season to take time to reconnect with oneself: a wellness weekend, a moment of relaxation in front of the television with a hot chocolate (ideally with vegetable milk and raw cocoa), a reading evening around a crackling wood fire or a family game. All possibilities are possible as long as they bring you some kind of well-being.

The summer, very active, eventful and festive, enveloped us in a whirlwind of activities. As the temperature drops, this vortex gradually dies out. Indeed, at this time of the year, we tend to stay at home as much as possible, when our active life allows it. Therefore, in order to feel at home, let's analyze some aromatic complexes that you can prepare yourself for this time of the year focused on introspection and self-renewal.

Aromatic complexes to make at home

The preparations mentioned below are pure aromatic complexes, i.e. only based on essential oils. Therefore, there is no need to add vegetable oils. These blends can be used in an essential oil diffuser or on a small porous pebble that you place in the room where you are. Also, as essential oils cannot be heated at the risk of being denatured, we advise not to use a perfume burner for these purposes.

Complex for relaxation and soothing:

In an opaque bottle, I prepare the following mixture:

  • 10 drops of red mandarin essence
  • 10 drops of True lavender essential oil
  • 3 drops of essential oil of marjoram

Complex to fill the melancholy:

In an opaque bottle, I prepare the following mixture:

  • 10 drops of True lavender essential oil
  • 10 drops of bergamot essence
  • 3 drops of jasmine essential oil

Complexity to find one's life mission:

It is often during this winter period, more focused on introspection, that we open up to our personal development and question our life. With the following complex, your ideas will be radically clearer to move forward with some ease.

In an opaque bottle, I prepare the following mixture:

  • 10 drops of Italian helichrysum essential oil
  • 20 drops of essential oil of olibanum-encens

Of course, you can use the mentioned essential oils individually in the diffuser.

Zoom on the essential oils used

  • Tangerine allows us to reconnect with our inner child while bringing joy and carefree spirit to our daily lives.

  • True lavender is healing because it takes care of us by bringing a feeling of peace and harmony, it invites us to a return to calm.

  • The marjoram with shell allows us to stop the small bicycle in the head. It allows us to let go and reconnect to our deepest values by clearing our mind of obsessive thoughts.

  • Bergamot is the essence of optimism par excellence. Moreover, it will have an action on your anxieties which will disappear little by little with the soft olfaction. Essential oil of openness, it will finally allow you to have confidence in yourself and in your values.

  • Also called immortal, Italian Helichrysum reconnects us to our inner sun. Moreover, it will be used in oil of passage for all the strong moments of a life, authorizing us then to detach us from the past to advance at best towards the future.

  • The frankincense is an essential oil very adapted to the introspection because it allows us quickly to see more clearly in us, because it opens our mind to all the possibilities.

For a healthy and optimal use, always prefer essential oils of good vibratory quality and always respect the rules of use of essential oils. The mixtures mentioned below are not recommended for children under 7 years of age or for long periods of time.

Wishing you a wonderful moment of olfactory well-being.
