Your Ultimate Guide to Healthy Living

The Christmas holiday season is a joyful, hopeful, blessed season, but if we are honest, it can also be exhausting. Between crowded stores, endless to-do lists, family gatherings, and the pressure to create picture-perfect moments, if you lose your focus, it can leave you running on empty. Add in stuffy indoor air, seasonal colds, and the general heaviness that comes with shorter days, and it is no wonder we need support.

Siberian fir essential oil (Abies sibirica) offers much the same benefits as refreshing autumn rain. When you breathe in its clean, forest scent, there can be an immediate sense of ease and relief in your breathing and tension level. It is an oil that offers practical support: easing congestion and supporting immunity, calming stress, and helping promote restful sleep. In a season when we need all the support we can get, Siberian fir is a great option to keep on hand.

As the pumpkin pie treats and pumpkin spice lattes appear in stores, it’s the perfect opportunity to welcome the scents of autumn into our homes, scents that feel comforting, familiar, and grounding. One of the simplest ways to do this is through using essential oils to create layered aromatic arrangements using top, middle, and base notes.
