Beautiful golden, but rainy autumn season is here, unless you live in Caribbean islands with plenty of palm trees and daily sunshine. When it comes to Atlanta weather, it's raining almost 15 days out of 30, some days it's just cloudy. So I hear from friends and clients that it affects their moods. Naturally, when we don't get enough of sunlight our nervous system and emotions get a little compromised. And naturally, I would look for a solution in my Magical Aromatherapeutic Chest to uplift our mood and spirits.

My first oil choice when I'm down and blue would be Pink Grapefruit oil (Citrus racemosa). It's fresh, tart citrus smell uplifts, cheers up and soothes nervous system absolutely beautifully. Grapefruit Pink essential oil is considered to be a spiritual up-lifter, as well as liver detoxifier and helps to relief tired muscles. It is also a very good mind stimulating oil.

Another beautiful scent to uplift our spirits would be essential oil of Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis).Sweet Orange Essential Oil has great and multiple properties. It acts as antidepressant, antiseptic and even aphrodisiac. It helps to stimulate digestive and nervous systems. Also it is known to help to fight common colds and stress.

Of course in order to create a healing blend, it is important to remember that every essential oil works better in synergy with couple of other essential oils and one of my most favorite oils to blend into uplifting and anti-depressant blends is essential oil of Lemon Basil (Ocimum citriodorum). This plant produces good yields of beautiful small leaves. Leaves are very similar to regular basil, but have a lemon flavor and a pungently sweet and citrus scent. Every time I smell this oil, it gives me a feeling of peace and joy. It also helps with mental concentration and promotes sense of well being.

And last but not least, I absolutely love Bergamot oil (Citrus bergamia), which has delicate and uplifting scent. It carries all the healing forces of the plant. Bergamot essential oil is one of the most powerful neuro-tonics. It is great remedy against depression caused by tiredness, fears and tensions. Massage performed with essential oil of Bergamot may help to ease irritability and anger. This amazing oil has been helping many of our clients to relax and get rid of many unpleasant emotions and feelings.

At Natures Lovers we carry an excellent blend, which has great reviews and is very popular among our clients. It's called Joyful Spirit it may definitely help you to feel much less of a blues during this fall and winter seasons.
