Feeling Blue? Think Orange!
Introduction:
Feeling a bit down lately? You're not alone. About half a million people experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) each winter, which can lead to severe depression and weight gain. For many, it’s just a seasonal adjustment causing those “winter blues.”What Causes the Winter Blues?
Reduced sunlight during winter disrupts our brain chemistry, making us feel tired, moody, and more inclined to eat. This phenomenon is often termed "The Winter Blues." Personally, I notice these feelings when we turn the clocks back in October, lasting until spring. Even animals feel this shift, with hibernation instincts kicking in.
How to Lift Your Spirits: Think Orange!
Aromatherapy offers a natural mood booster with citrus essential oils?"especially orange. It’s an excellent pick-me-up, along with grapefruit.
Incorporating Orange Into Your Daily Life:
- Diffusion: Use a diffuser with orange essential oil at your desk or workspace.
- Cleaning: Add orange essential oil to your dishwashing liquid and cleaners for a refreshing scent.
Caution: Avoid applying cold-pressed citrus oils directly on the skin due to potential photosensitivity. Even in winter, UV rays can still pose a risk.
Extra Tip:
Mix a few drops of cinnamon with orange in the diffuser for a warm, wintery aroma!
