As autumn has arrived it officially gets dark earlier, most of us look forward to creating a warm and cozy environment at home.
The last minutes of summer are starting to fly away and the atmosphere is changing. Autumn is a refreshing time of year that brings us new opportunities and renewed energy.
The most obvious sign of the arrival of autumn is the transition of nature from the warm and bright season of summer to the cooler and earthier character of autumn. The trees change their leaves to shades of gold and red, while the sky takes on shades of blue and gray. The aromas of winter desserts, such as cinnamon, fill our kitchen and remind us of the warmth of family.
Cuddled in our favorite soft sweater, we feel the embrace of comfort and safety. It's the season when we allow ourselves to relax and enjoy the ease of solitude or companionship (perhaps of a good book), depending on our mood.
The rain give us the opportunity to sit in front of the window, watch the drops fall and think. It is a moment of romance and inner relief.
Essential oils are a powerful way to shape the atmosphere of your space and create a relaxing and pleasant space, perfect for autumn days.
Cinnamon: The Warmth of Autumn
Cinnamon is an essential oil that brings the warmth and comfort of autumn into your home. The scent of cinnamon can lift your mood and give a sense of warmth on a cool and rainy autumn morning. Add a few drops of cinnamon to an essential oil diffuser and enjoy the warmth it provides.
Lavender: Relaxation and Wellness
Lavender is known for its properties that help with relaxation and well-being. In autumn, when our daily life becomes more stressful and fast, you can use lavender to calm down and create an atmosphere of well-being. Add a few drops of lavender to an aroma diffuser or dissolve the drops in a bowl of warm water for a relaxing aromatic bath.
Orange: Freshness and Energy
The scent of orange brings freshness and positive energy to every space. You can use orange essential oil to combat the melancholy that autumn can bring. Add a few drops to an orange essential oil diffuser to freshen up your space.
Cedarwood: Calm and Stability
