During the cold and gloomy winter months, the use of aromatherapy can be particularly beneficial. In addition to helping awakens, one’s dulled senses and lifting one’s spirits, aromatherapy can also help alleviate much of the discomfort brought on by the changing seasons! Winter can be tough on the body, with increased rates of respiratory tract infections, dry and damaged skin, poor circulation and intensified arthritic and rheumatic pains to name a few.
