6 Fantastic Wintertime Oils

Eucalyptus fights coughs and opens your airways. Steam a few drops in water, diffuse, and inhale. Add Lime—a bright, cheery, antiviral, antibacterial oil.*

And for asthma or other respiratory issues, you can make homemade vapor rub by combining eucalyptus and peppermint with a carrier oil.

Maybe add Frankincense or Clove, too (both are anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial).*

Peppermint oil can be used for energy—just sniff from the bottle for an energetic lift.*

Also blend peppermint with Cypress, ginger, black pepper and a carrier oil for a homemade pain reliever. Massage into your painful areas.*

Ginger is your best friend when you’ve got the flu. It helps to ease nausea and digestive issues.*

Black Pepper is the secret ingredient in a fantastic essential oil muscle rub. Blend a drop or two with Eucalyptus and Peppermint in a carrier oil. Then add Holy Basil for an even more invigorating combination of oils.*

And if you have the winter blues, try 8 drops Orange and 2 drops Ylang ylang, diluted in a carrier oil to use for massages.*

Lavender will help heal your dry, cracked, winter skin. Maybe you’re having trouble sleeping, too? Then rub Lavender oil on the bottoms of your feet!*
